Date & Time: Tuesday, Oct. 3, 4:00-5:15 p.m.
Location: Library Classroom, 1st floor Fogler Library
As part of the 2017 Digital Humanities Week, this workshop will provide an overview of critical primary sources available to scholars at the University of Maine seeking to enhance their digital humanities research experience. Representatives from Gale will review the Gale Primary Sources platform, including core primary source databases available through the library. We will also cover recent research enhancements that may not easily be found within the normal library discovery tool environment, including term frequency, term clusters, downloadable OCR, and other integrated workflow tools. Bring your own laptop, or use one provided by Fogler Library.
