Gale Digital Scholar Lab Workshop
In Person
In this workshop, Gale representatives will introduce the lab, which is available to staff and students.
Gale Digital Scholar Lab is developed with participation from beta testers across a wide range of institutions and organisations. It is designed to transform the way scholars and students access and analyse Gale primary source materials by offering solutions to some of the most common challenges facing researchers in the digital humanities today.
By integrating an unmatched depth and breadth of digital primary source matter with the most popular DH tools, Gale Digital Scholar Lab provides a new lens to explore history and empowers researchers to generate world-altering conclusions and outcomes.
Through advanced humanities computing tools that make natural language processing (NLP) for historical texts accessible, more efficient, and impactful, the footprint of digital humanities can be expanded to more classrooms around the globe.
This is a drop-in session where researchers will be introduced to the Lab, learn how it works, and get support using it for their own research. Come any time, bring your device, and bring your research topics for support.
This is a beginner level workshop. No previous knowledge on the topic is required/expected and the trainer will cover the basics of the method.
