Text and Data Mining Literacy for Librarians collects ways that academic libraries are supporting TDM literacy through services, workflows, and professional development. In five parts, it offers a variety of perspectives, insights, and experiences that can help you address the challenges of supporting TDM research, fit it into your existing reference and instruction work, and conduct your own: 1. Essentials of Text and Data Mining (TDM) Literacy, 2. Data Literacy, Licensing, and Management Challenges with TDM, 3. TDM Research in Action: Practical Applications and Case Studies, 4. Generating Insights from Library Reference Data, and 5. Proprietary TDM Software: Examples and Implementations. Chapters cover a range of disciplines and subject areas from a variety of institution sizes and types. Text and Data Mining Literacy for Librarians is intended to empower library workers, inform decision-makers, and support our research communities as working with textual data becomes further embedded into the research landscape"--
