HathiTrust has announced that registration is open until August 31 for the second annual HathiTrust Research Center (HTRC) UnCamp, to be held September 8–9, 2013, at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. HathiTrust is a partnership of major academic and research libraries that are collaborating to build a digital library initiative that preserves and provides access to the published record in digital form.
The UnCamp is a dynamic un-conference that is part hands-on coding and demonstration, part inspirational use-cases, part community building, and part informational. The HTRC UnCamp is targeted to digital humanities and informatics tool developers, researchers and librarians, and graduate students.
The HathiTrust Research Center is a collaborative research center launched jointly by Indiana University and the University of Illinois, along with the HathiTrust Digital Library, to help meet the technical challenges of working with massive amounts of digital text that researchers face. The HTRC develops cutting-edge software tools and cyberinfrastructure to enable advanced computational access to the growing digital record of human knowledge.
