This interactive and live-demo focused session will introduce and give a deep dive into Wiley Digital Archives.
For this exciting and long overdue program to digitize the world’s learned societies, Wiley has tackled some of the greatest challenges to digital research scholars, students, and librarians alike have struggled to work through for nearly 2 decades. “How do I work with datasets created in manuscript form 240 years ago without transcribing everything?”, “I’ve found all my maps, but now what do I
do with them?”, “I have a large ESL student population, and they aren’t able to use most of the current digitized collections out there due to language and interface issues- How can I support them?”, and so many more of the Big Questions are what we hope to answer.
www.wileydigitalarchives.com This 45-minute experience will take you deep into our incredible content, built onto a unique and advanced research platform that allows researchers to use historic documents in ways not previously possible- Exporting tables and charts, mapping and GIS tools over the largest map collection ever digitized, sharing results and images with friends and colleagues, full auto-translation of documents into over a hundred languages, and so much more.
Expect a fun, engaged session full of eye-popping moments as we dig into some of the great collections on the History of Science and beyond. Feel free to send any questions ahead of time to
kwheeler@wiley.com, and we will be sure to answer them/have them prepared for you.
