Gale Digital Scholar Lab: Best Practices for Research and Pedagogy In-Person
The University Libraries invites you to attend a hands-on workshop introducing the Gale Digital Scholar Lab, a new library resource that enables students and researchers to do text mining and analysis on materials from Gale Primary Sources, which includes digtized texts from the 16th century through the 20th century. This workshop will give attendees a chance to familiarize themselves with the Digital Scholar Lab, and ask questions about the interface and workflow. It is also an excellent opportunity for discussions related to text mining, particularly related to how to obtain texts to work with, and questions of representativeness - what makes a good textual corpus? The workshop will include a discussion of pedagogy and ideas for upcoming classes, and current research use cases for the Lab.
This workshop will be appropriate for researchers and instructors from a range of disciplines, and requires no prior experience with digital research methods. Prior to the session, you're welcome to access the Gale Digital Scholar Lab via the library website to log in and explore the resource. We'll also use this session to gauge interest in a faculty learning communinity for digital research and pedagogy.
Session Outline:
- Development impetus
- Interactive wawlk-through of the Digital Scholar Lab
- Performing search queries
- Pedagogy: Classroom Use Cases
- Reserach: Scholarly Use Cases
- Q and A
Please feel welcome to drop in and out as your schedule allows. You can also join the workshop online via zoom, and the session will be recorded and distributed for viewing.
For this workshop, we'll be joined by Sarah Ketchely, an Egyptologist, art history scholar, and a lecturer in the Department of Near Eastern Languages and Civilization at the University of Washington, where she teaches introductory and graduate-level classes in digital humanities. Sarah is also a Digital Humanities Specialist at Gale, supporting librarians, faculty, and graduate students in their use of Gale's Digital Scholar Lab for research and pedagogy.
