Text and data mining (TDM) is an area of research that looks for patterns of meaning in large datasets or groups of texts. TDM introduces a wide range of research opportunities from mining articles and newspapers to creating better systematic reviews. However, along with these opportunities comes some legal constraints researchers should be aware of before beginning their projects.
In this workshop of the Researcher Workshop Series, we will discuss copyright, and license restrictions of library subscription databases for TDM. We will introduce attendees to ways of navigating these legal considerations as well as highlight resources that qualify as fair-use options and exemptions to copyright.
Participants are welcome to bring their lunch to this workshop.
Note: In cases where fewer than 5 people register for a workshop, it will be cancelled and the instructor will reach out to the registered attendees to schedule an individual consultation with them on the topic. This decision will be made 12 hours before the workshop.
