HKBU LIBRARY: RESEARCH DATA TOOL SERIES 2018

	`Workshop title:` Start from the Source: Text and Data Mining with Gale's Digital Primary Sources `Time:` Nov 1 (Thu), 2:30 - 4:00 pm `Speaker:` Masaki Morisawa (Senior Product Manager, Gale) `Location of Venue:` Collaborative Computer Lab, L4, Library, Hong Kong Baptist University `Workshop summary:` When asked by a student how to get an A+ for their class, a teacher replied, “Show me something I didn’t know”. How can a student show the all-knowing teacher something “new” from the past? The answer is to use primary sources. With new digital tools like Term Frequency Search, Term Cluster Viewer, and enhanced text and data mining tools, the exploration of primary sources has never become easier, or more fun. Learn how to dig into newspapers, magazines, books, government records of the past to re-experience as it was unfolding, and maybe you can get an A+ in your next paper! `Speaker Bio:` Masaki Morisawa supports the Gale sales force in Asia in areas of product information and training, marketing materials, and technical support. He studied English literature in Sophia University, Tokyo. He also enjoys eating local food during his Hong Kong trips although the Chinese characters on the diner menus continue to baffle him.
