Description:

Instructors: Carol Doyle, Business Librarian, Northwestern University Libraries
Christina Maimone, Senior Computational Social Sciences Specialist, Research Computing Services

Are you interested in creating a novel data set for your research? Is there a collection of text documents with information you'd like to use? This workshop will help you learn about 1) open source and library databases containing text documents that you may not know about, and 2) how these documents can be processed, and information extracted from them, to create new data sets and ways of understanding the data. We'll be discussing possibilities for developing new research topics or supplementing your existing research with new types of data. Library and research computing staff will discuss the support available for researchers looking to incorporate collections of documents into their research.
