This workshop will introduce participants to processing textual data with Python, focusing on cleaning and editing texts to make them suitable for further analysis. Familiarity with basic Python is encouraged, but not required. Participants will need to have Python 3.9+ and Jupyter notebooks installed to follow along. Jupyter notebooks can be installed by following this link: https://jupyter.org/install
Do you have data that is based on an area; like by city, county, state, or country (like the census, or other data at the county/state/country level)? This workshop will help you join your data to the geometry of your area(s) so you can map them.
Join us to learn how to upload, wrangle, and analyze data in R. No experience necessary.
This short workshop will serve as a gentle introduction to the Unix/Linux command line with a special focus on how it can be used to search and manipulate text. Attendees will be well-equipped to begin exploring how Unix/Linux tools might be useful for their own research in the humanities and beyond.
Use Pivot to find grants and other funding opportunities through local, state, federal, non-profit, and corporate sponsors. Based on your research profile, set up funding alerts and find potential collaborators at UGA and beyond.
Learn the ins and outs of using public government websites like Congress.gov, GovInfo.gov, and USCode.House.gov to research legal sources.
Need to create a map of locations for your poster, paper, or project and all you have are latitude and longitude for each point? This workshop will help you to turn your data into a simple map. No experience necessary. Want to follow along? Download and install the Long Term Release (LTR) version of QGIS before the workshop Data Link: Lat/Long.
Learn how to use RefWorks, an incredibly helpful citation management software for researchers and writers provided by the UGA Libraries. RefWorks allows you to save citations from databases, organize them, attach PDFs, and then format and insert the citations into Word or Google Docs in one of 15,000 different citation styles.
ChatGPT is like a compulsive liar; sometimes it simply has to lie to satisfy its directive. In the academic realm this can result in ChatGPT entirely inventing imaginary publications out of whole cloth, disguising them with impeccably formatted citations. From college undergrads to courtroom lawyers, this tendency of AI to invent citations has already landed many users in hot water.
This workshop will introduce the basics of text analysis and processing with Python, including different Python libraries and their utilities. All levels are welcome.
