Gale Previews Digital Scholar Lab at ALA Midwinter Conference
FARMINGTON HILLS, Mich., Feb. 6, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --
What: Gale, a Cengage company, is
demonstrating its upcoming new
Digital Scholar Lab, a cloud-
based research environment that
allows students and scholars to
apply natural language processing
tools to raw text data (OCR) from
Gale's primary source collections
in a single research platform. ALA
Midwinter attendees will get a
sneak preview of this new
innovative research tool that
removes key barriers of entry into
digital scholarship, enabling
users at any level to quickly
perform textual analysis on large
corpora of historical texts. This
accelerates workflows allowing
scholars and students to focus on
their core research objectives.
Why: As academic libraries continually
shift to keep up with the changing
needs of research and scholarship,
many are looking at the digital
humanities as an opportunity for
closer collaboration with faculty
and other campus stakeholders.
With the Digital Scholar Lab, Gale
has created a research environment
that helps bridge the gap that
often exists between the primary
sources available through the
library and the research workflow
of faculty and students. By
simplifying and combining access
to unique content and natural
language processing tools, the
Digital Scholar Lab helps position
the library at the center of
digital scholarship across campus.
When: February 9-12, 2018
Where: ALA Midwinter Conference, Booth
#1508, Colorado Convention Center,
Denver, CO
