Love Data Week Workshop: Navigating HathiTrust with Python

Description

When working with a digital repository, a fundamental research concern is being able to construct a subcorpus. HathiTrust is currently the largest open collaborative repository that houses 18+ million volumes, offering remote and open access to scholars who work with these sources in a variety of disciplines. However, finding specific subcorpora can be really challenging in such a repository, due to labeling errors, OCR errors, and more. This workshop covers a research workflow for programmatically interacting with HathiTrust that can be applied to a variety of tasks, including finding subcorpora within HathiTrust that aren't directly or cleanly labeled by the metadata.
