Additionally, we’ll learn how to create a custom mailing list for targeted outreach.

To encourage early career researchers, the new Gale Research Showcase offers a hub for presenting and publishing high-quality, peer-reviewed digital humanities research outcomes.

The new Python Notebook section of Gale Digital Scholar Lab will help students and researchers take their projects in a new direction. Three new Python Notebooks expand on Named Entity Recognition and Sentiment Analysis, and into Geographic Information Systems (GIS). Each Python Notebook can be used with a pre-made Dataset or with the researcher’s own collected text data. Join this webinar to hear from Sarah Ketchley, Senior Digital Humanities Specialist, who will show the Notebook environment and demonstrate how using the Notebooks will increase users’ skill levels, and can be adapted for work at any level.
