Improve : • Increase amount of real work being accomplished as measured by usage on HTRC’s compute resources Quarry and Big Red II at IU • Develop educational uses • Develop informatics uses • Decrease number of observers to 10% Project 200 users at any one time of which 90% are doing relevant education/scholarship 9
- 10. HTRC Current Users (ca Now)
- 11. #HTRC @HathiTrust Non-Consumptive Research Paradigm • No action or set of actions on part of users, either acting alone or in cooperation with other users over duration of one or multiple sessions can result in sufficient information gathered from collection of copyrighted works to reassemble pages from collection. • Definition disallows collusion between users, or accumulation of material over time. Differentiates human researcher from proxy which is not a user. Users are human beings.

Editor's Notes
- HTRC hides complexity of analytics. In this sense, it is like Google search, which is a simple interface that hides complexity to search billions of pages. The kinds of things returned from HTRC interaction are spatial relationship of words (and their frequency obviously), statistical plots of information or tabular information.
- Shifting the complexity hiding interface to the right, we open up the cloud to see what’s inside. HTRC at it simplest has 1) algorithms – these are drawn from SEASR and from other analysis tool suites including Mahout and mapreduce, the 2) HT corpus (and subsets of the corpus that users either have personally as part of a workset, or are publically available, and 3) other data sets that are used. HTRC brokers the bringing together of these pieces so that computation can take place on a resource like Big Red II (or XSEDE). Note that there is an arrow from the compute engine to the complexity hiding interface. This is because researcher interaction with the texts isn’t an automated workflow; it is one requiring levels of interaction with the computation as it is running.

- The Scholarly Commons User Support service gives HT institutions exclusive access to training and learning materials that help them establish programs that integrate HTRC tools and services into their scholarly commons programs in libraries and digital humanities centers. The SC will be physically located on the University of Illinois Library’s Scholarly commons. Several Library staff and faculty will support this service. Key among these is the Digital Humanities Research Specialist who will assist with the development of training and outreach initiatives in support of researchers working with the Hathi Trust Research Center and HathiTrust digital library affiliates who seek to start their own HTRC research services. This will involve planning, implementation and continuous development of training materials, educational workshops, and potential tools, and outreach activities in support of the usage of HTRC tools and datasets. The HTRC Digital H. Specialist will focus on development of HTRC research services at HathiTrust member institutions, and will collaborate with public services and data services librarians at HathiTrust member institutions on developing support services for digital humanities research with HTRC corpus. The specialist will work closely with the English and Digital Humanities Librarian at the University of Illinois Library to develop research data services for the humanities, with particular emphasis on the HTRC corpus and tools. Additional professionals are focused on related aspects of HTRC work, including a CLIR Postdoc researching user requirements for HTRC tools, a Technical Specialist and other technical support. These professionals contribute to the work of the Scholarly Commons and to the HT community in helping to articulate the relationship between new technologies and humanities scholarship to the community of humanists; and in advising teaching faculty on the usage of digitized textual corpora and providing technical support for use of analytical tools. The scope and responsibilities will evolve in accordance with priorities established by the Library and HathiTrust community. The specialist will spend up to 20 percent of their time on the support of research work with the HTRC. Examples of currently supported digital humanities projects involving the HTRC corpus include: A text mining project of eighteenth-century novels for changes in dialect; A textual analysis of nineteenth-century women's serial novels for thematic patterns; A comparative literature textual analysis project; Topic modeling of twentieth-century texts for depictions of African-American women.
