FOLIO https://www.folio.org/
From Martin: Dear all, just wondering if anyone on the NDSR group has been looking into FOLIO (https://www.folio.org/).
Folio work is being done by IndexData (a group we worked with on BHL back in the early days). As a platform, I think there is some thing there for BHL Version 2. We'll talk some more in the tech group, but I was also thinking we might invite someone from IndexData to the September tech meeting.- Hathi Trust data mining (information):
HTRC Seeks Proposals for ACS Projects
- April 7, 2017
- Colleagues,
- Today we release our annual call for proposals under the HathiTrust Research Center's Advanced Collaborative Support Program (ACS). This program matches selected researchers with consultants at the Research Center, who provide extended, expert guidance in the use of the HathiTrust collection and services and tools of the Research Center. Projects selected for this program often serve as pilots or prototypes for larger-scale projects, and several ACS awardees have later sought and received grant funding to extend their work. The ACS program allows the Research Center team to identify projects that can most directly benefit from its services and programs, as well as those that can in turn help us develop and refine our service offerings.
