This workshop will introduce students to data analysis using HathiTrust s repository (containing over 15 million books), especially its extracted features datasets, as well as its Data Portal s tools for accessing copyrighted data. Students will learn not only how to navigate HathiTrust s search functionalities, but also to build their own custom datasets. It is an onerous process to access HathiTrust s data analytics tools, and we will walk through each step of accessing a Data Capsule. We will experiment with both Voyant-Tools for user-friendly text analysis, as well as some easy to adapt scripts in R for text analysis.

Software: Hathitrust Data Analytics tools, Voyant-Tools, R Programming Language
