The HathiTrust Research Center: Large-Scale Computational Analysis with the World’s First Massive Digital Library

The HathiTrust (HT) is a research consortium and digital library consisting of more than 13 million volumes of digitized text, mostly from the world's foremost research libraries. A large part of this material is under copyright and hence not directly downloadable. The HathiTrust Research Center (HTRC) has started developing facilities for non-consumptive access to the text data by providing innovative means of analytical access (without allowing download-access) to the text data. The workshop is intended for students and researchers interested in textual analytics using the HTRC corpus. Sayan Bhattacharyya, Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the HTRC, will showcase different approaches/mechanisms for non-consumptive analysis of the HT corpus, such as a portal, an HTRC Data Capsule, an Extracted Features (EF) dataset based on a subset of the corpus, and an HT+Bookworm tool for trend analysis on the corpus.
