The Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois has received an Award from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation in support of a project entitled, “Workset Creation For Scholarly Analysis: Prototyping Project” (WCSA). More information about the Prime Award project is available from http://worksets.htrc.illinois.edu. The overall goal of this project is to develop new tools and techniques to assist researchers and scholars in identifying and selecting resources from within the HathiTrust and creating worksets of these resources useful for their scholarly analyses.
Proposals are solicited for prototyping projects to define and implement a tool or service that will help scholars better identify and select relevant resources at scale from the HathiTrust corpus and/or facilitate the construction of large-scale worksets useful for scholarly analyses
