Mimas will be exhibiting at next week's UKSG conference in Glasgow, March 26 - 28. We'll be at stand 7 so visit us throughout the conference to learn more about:
- SCARLET (Special Collections using Augmented Reality to Enhance Learning and Teaching). See members of the SCARLET team materialise from the printed page by interacting with our SCARLET AR poster. Use our mobile app to interact with early editions of Dante’s Divine Comedy, including digital images, webpages and online learning resources. View sample content and learn about how you can benefit from the outputs of the SCARLET project. Visit the Mimas stand, visit the blog http://teamscarlet.wordpress.com/ or speak to Jo Lambert during the Group B breakout session (22).
- The Journal Usage Statistics Portal. The JUSP service is currently funded by JISC to develop two value-added enhancements. Find out more by visiting the Mimas stand prior to the launch of these enhancements. Ross MacIntyre will also present a general session about JUSP on Tuesday.
- JISC Historic Books and JISC Journal Archives, part of the *new* JISC eCollections service:http://jiscecollections.ac.uk<http://jiscecollections.ac.uk/>. Built on meaning-based search technology, they enable you to uncover contextual links between related materials. See a demo of the platforms, find out moreabout the meaning-based searching and ask us any questions. We're very keen to gather feedback, and this will inform their future development, so please do come along and let us know what you think.
A case study on JISC Journal Archives in the JISC report on ‘The Value and Benefits of Text Mining’ :http://www.jisc.ac.uk/publications/reports/2012/value-and-benefits-of-text-mining.aspx#a43 illustrated that text mining has real cost saving benefits (they implied a saving of £416 per academic per year).
For more information on the text mining work we’re doing please come and chat to one of the team or see the Mimas website:http://mimas.ac.uk/news/2012/03/autonomy/.
