Description:

Text mining is a valuable research tool for the social sciences and the humanities. This workshop will introduce you to the fundamentals of large-scale text analysis. We will walk you through examples from peer-reviewed academic papers, introducing you to key terms and concepts. Then we’ll provide an overview of how you can use library resources to build textual data sets and apply text mining techniques. No coding knowledge is required. 

This workshop will be presented by Basia Kapolka, Digital Humanities Librarian; Geoff Morse, Interim Head of Research Services; and Liz Hamilton, Copyright Librarian.

This workshop will be held online over Zoom. A Northwestern Zoom account is required to access this session.
