Gale Digital Scholar Lab access is an integral part of Gale Accelerate. As the world’s leading integrated text and data mining solution, the Lab provides significant value to Gale Accelerate customers. A powerful analysis platform that overcomes many of the technical barriers to entry into digital humanities (DH), Gale Digital Scholar Lab enables the integration of DH techniques into every classroom, promoting a deeper relationship with archives and a new lens through which to explore them.
For existing DH researchers, Gale Digital Scholar Lab dramatically reduces the time needed to collect, curate, and clean large content sets, freeing up time to write algorithms and analyse data.
For libraries, as well as supporting the rapidly increasing need to support DH and digital literacy, Gale Digital Scholar Lab can promote new uses of institutional repositories and archives through its ‘content upload’ feature, which allows the ingest of external data that can then be run through the Lab’s analysis pipeline.
Universities all over the world are reaping the benefits of embedding Gale Digital Scholar Lab throughout their humanities and social sciences departments. By using the Lab to promote and expand digital literacy and critical thinking, libraries and faculty are meeting institutional objectives to develop these skills in their student community.
Visit Gale’s Digital Humanities Hub to read more about our work with DH and see case studies of how institutions have used this exciting new tool. As part of Gale Accelerate, you are entitled to support, training and curriculum collaboration to help you get the most out of the Lab, and crucially, to use it to get maximum value from your Gale archives.
For all information about how you can start to incorporate Gale Digital Scholar Lab into your research and teaching, contact Head of Digital Scholarship, Chris Houghton.
ARCHIVES EXPLOREDArchives Explored shows Gale Primary Sources in action. It provides sample curations and long-form studies to demonstrate how the content can be applied to topics, contextual essays to help researchers understand archives and topics they can be applied to, and case studies detailing how they have been used and integrated into various institutions.
