From: Bernie Reilly <[log in to unmask]> Date: Fri, 19 Oct 2012 20:41:18 +0000 Apropos of the discussion about text mining on this list a few months back, I am passing along this information about an upcoming CRL event. On November 13 the Center for Research Libraries will hold a webinar for CRL members: "Text Mining: Opportunities and Challenges."<http://www.crl.edu/events/8391> The webinar explores recent trends in researchers' use of text mining and how academic publishers and libraries are responding. Representatives of Elsevier and Gale Cengage will present the journal and database publishers' perspective. Topics to be covered: * the challenges and issues text mining presents for database publishers * how libraries can support these activities * what new services and tools are envisioned or in the pipeline. The webinar is open to faculty, staff and researchers at 268 CRL libraries. CRL offers webinars as part of the Global Resources Forum, a program of events and activities that support library decision-making on collection and electronic resource investments. Bernie Reilly CRL
