During the academic year 2024/25 a one year pilot is being run by the Bodleian Libraries to support Text and Data Mining (TDM) at the University of Oxford. This seeks to highlight the use of Bodleian Collections in TDM, promote the support given by librarians in this area and collect evidence concerning text and data needs of Bodleian readers. The project is managed by librarians serving the Social Sciences Division, Humanities Division and the Centre for Digital Scholarship.
To find out more go to Text and Data Mining pilot project Libguide, Bodleian Data Service: Text and Data Mining webpage, or contact the Bodleian Data Librarian.
