Colloquium On Text & Data Mining in Libraries 2023

The Colloquium on Text & Data Mining (TDM) in Libraries was successfully held May 2-3, 2023 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

This Colloquium provided a North American forum for librarians and others working within libraries to discuss TDM as a growth area in academia, and how libraries can help to support this work moving forward. There were presentations from librarians, researchers, and vendors involved in TDM, along with opportunities to discuss ideas, challenges, opportunities, and build community.

If you missed the event, but are interested in this topic, you can join the discussions on supporting TDM in libraries that will continue on a new listserv we launched at the conclusion of the event.
