Introduction to Gale Digital Scholar Lab

During this session Chris Houghton, Head of Academic partnerships at Gale, will introduce Gale Digital Scholar Lab. Suitable for all levels of experience, learn how the Lab can enhance research and teaching for anyone working on textual data in the humanities or social sciences.

We will cover the basic Lab workflow, including:

• Creating content sets for analysis
• Applying and configuring analytical tools
• Interpreting visualisations
• Why data cleaning is necessary and how to quickly clean thousands of texts at once
• Ingesting your own text data for analysis
• Developing, reviewing and publishing projects
• How the Lab supports teaching and how to incorporate it in classes

Whether you're familiar with text analysis techniques or interested in learning how to grow your digital skills, after this session you will understand how to explore Gale's primary source archives with sophisticated analyses and develop engaging, interactive visualisations. There will be an opportunity to ask questions to understand how you can apply Gale Digital Scholar Lab to your own work.
