Volunteer to help shape ASU Library’s text and data mining tools, Sept. 15

Volunteer to be part of a small group of faculty members in a 60-day pilot trial of ProQuest’s TDM Studio starting on Monday, Sept. 15, 2025. TDM Studio enables researchers to conduct large-scale text and data mining across multiple ProQuest sources with broad applications in research and instruction, including historical newspapers, The Wall Street Journal, dissertations, congressional documents and more.

Volunteers will be asked to explore the tool throughout a three-month trial, attend a short training session or book a one-on-one with a ProQuest trainer, and complete a brief post-trial feedback survey. ProQuest instructors will provide priority training shortly after the trial begins.
