Constellate Text Analysis Trial Kick-Off

Syracuse University Libraries is participating in a trial of ITHAKA/JSTOR’s Constellate Text Analysis platform during the fall 2024 semester. To kick-off the trial period, the Libraries will host a team from Constellate for a small kick-off meeting and training.

Constellate, a part of ITHAKA’s portfolio of non-profit services, is an easy-to-use text analysis platform that integrates access to scholarly content and open educational resources into a cloud-based lab to help faculty more easily and effectively teach text analysis and data skills. With Constellate, learners across all disciplines can apply text analysis methods to datasets, and hone their skills with support from on-demand tutorials, live classes taught by experts, and engagement with an inspiring user community. Constellate connects researchers with the JSTOR corpus and content from 100+ publishers preserving with Portico, providing 421 years of primary and secondary sources across all fields of study, including 31M+ documents, 2M+ historic newspaper issues, and 27M+ scholarly journal articles — independent of our library’s holdings.
