Work and School Intersect

Today I attended a presentation from a team of representatives from Ebsco. Ebsco provides the library with a lot of our databases and electronic materials, as well as providing what is called a discovery service, the front end of what many patrons see in our library.

The most interesting part of the presentation was their section on data and text mining, focusing on how their services offered means for researchers to access data sets for language research. I did not realize that their databases provided that option, and I hope to learn more about it.
