Text Mining: Elsevier Releases New Terms for Academe
by Nancy K. Herther
At the January ALA Midwinter conference in Philadelphia, Elsevier announced that it was extending and codifying arrangements for academic researchers to mine text from Elsevier's archives of journals and books. Now, through their libraries' access, academic researchers will be able to use Elsevier's API to batch-download documents in computer-readable XML format. Although the announcement was greeted with as much caution and concern as applause, this represents an important first step for commercial scholarly publishers to open their massive stores of text and data for researchers.

The Accidental Taxonomist, 3rd edition
The Accidental Taxonomist, 3rd edition
by Heather Hedden
Foreword by Stephanie Lemieux
The Accidental Taxonomist is the most comprehensive guide available to the art and science of building information taxonomies. Heather Hedden—a leading taxonomy expert and instructor—walks readers through the process, displaying her trademark ability to present highly technical information in straightforward, comprehensive English.

In this fully revised third edition, Hedden adds an entirely new chapter on ontologies, emphasizes the SKOS model of concepts over the traditional thesaurus model of terms, and provides new insights into taxonomy development techniques. She presents fresh survey data; new screenshots and examples; and updated information on software, career opportunities, and resources for taxonomists.
