====================================================================
Virtual Seminar: Text and Data Mining Developing Policies and Practices in a Changing Discovery Landscape

Date: March 21, 2016

Location: Virtual Seminar

====================================================================
What's Covered:

At a recent Association of Research Libraries event, Professor Geoffrey Boulton of the University of Edinburgh indicated the most critical areas of scientific practice - that is, text and data-mining (TDM) practices - were in danger of being curtailed by content providers' licensing agreements.

>From the perspective of scientists, TDM is known as non-consumptive research, a phrase coined originally by Google in the context of its Google Books project. This means the electronic information resources licensed by institutions are being used as a foundational test bed for seeking patterns in data through the use of algorithms and similar computational tools. Individual works, whether articles or books, are neither examined (as in read) nor displayed.

While some content providers have developed policies and practices for enabling this form of research, TDM represents an area of increasing uncertainty for others, operating across a spectrum of scholarly and research environments.

In this NFAIS Virtual Workshop, our distinguished set of presenters will explore the nature of this fast-changing and increasingly important discovery methodology. 

Who should attend this NFAIS Virtual Workshop: scholarly researchers, publishers, librarians, government officials, scholarly society and foundation staff, information services consultants

Attendees of this Workshop will gain practical knowledge and understanding of:
. Where we are today with TDM
. Common TDM practices researchers are using in their research efforts
. What university libraries would like to see in their licensing agreements in support of research efforts
. What services are emerging in support of TDM and whether third-party services are helping make TDM easier 	and more efficient
