Developing a research Library position statement on Text and Data Mining in t...Danny Kingsley
These are slides from a workshop held during the RLUK2017 Conference http://rlukconference.com/ presented by Dr Danny Kingsley, Dr Deborah Hansen and Anna Vernon.
The Abstract:
"The library community has been almost silent on the issue of text and data mining (T&DM) partly due to concerns about the risk of having institutions ‘cut off’ from subscriptions due to large downloads of research articles for the purpose of mining. This workshop is an intention to identify where the information rests about T&DM - including looking at the details as they appear in Jisc negotiated licenses - consider some case studies and develop together a set of principles that identify the position of research libraries in the on the issue of T&DM.
