How can librarians partner with faculty to integrate TDM into the classroom?

Summary:

Text and data mining (TDM) is an essential skill across disciplines, but historically, it’s only been accessible to those with experience in data collection, data manipulation and coding. In this webinar, you’ll see how Wayne State University library is making TDM accessible to students regardless of their ability to code.

Alexandra Sarkozy, Science and Digital Scholarship Librarian at Wayne State, partnered with ProQuest and Wayne State faculty to integrate TDM into the classroom. She’ll share the approaches the library took to help faculty integrate TDM tools into teaching and learning, providing students with access to data visualizations.

You’ll also hear John Dillon, Ph.D., product manager for TDM Studio, discuss how other universities are incorporating TDM into the classroom. He will demonstrate data visualizations and discuss how they can help faculty, students and researchers gain insights from millions of documents.
