If this is a topic best done as a follow-up to Scott’s Text Mining workshop, you might want to propose this as a session for Saturday instead of a workshop on Friday, because Scott’s workshop will take place Friday afternoon — so we won’t have any workshops following that time slot.

This would be perfect for a Saturday session. I’ve taken the liberty of adding it to the list of proposed Sessions: socal2012.thatcamp.org/schedule/session-proposals/

Thanks!

We do also have a large number of Campers though that aren’t familiar with Zotero at all — so, perhaps we can wrangle up another Zotero-experienced Camper to teach an Intro workshop as well. I’d wager that a number of the public heritage community who are attending will need to see/hear *why* they should make their sites work with Zotero — what’s the advantage.

Thanks for stepping up, ajlyon1!

1. A brief explanation of text mining?
2. Who is your recommended target audience?
3. What are a couple uses cases, or examples, that you can point people to look at?

Thanks again!

I work as a PM at our library, but don’t have the expertise to teach it. And I’ve found the hardest task for my colleagues to accomplish is needs analysis and requirements definition/gathering.  Giving either of those out as an in-workshop hands-on exercise (in teams, maybe) would be an invaluable workshop IMO.
