The HathiTrust Research Center (HTRC) is pleased to announce that the Andrew W. Mellon foundation has awarded $437,000 to the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in partnership with Indiana University for an exciting new project entitled “Workset Creation for Scholarly Analysis: Prototyping Project” (WCSA). The two-year project will focus on enriching and augmenting metadata for the HathiTrust corpus to support selection and discovery of the resources that scholars need to gather together for computational analysis and scholarly investigation. As part of the project, HTRC will release an open, competitive Request for Proposals in November 2013 with the intent to fund four prototyping projects that will build tools for enriching and augmenting metadata for the HathiTrust corpus.
