Interested in using other library collections as a source for big data analysis?

Contacting the Research Data Librarian to inquire about the use of proprietary data from a publisher/vendor ensures:

Faster response: Libraries often have contact people within these companies who can expedite the process.
Fee Negotiation: Existing Libraries subscriptions may allow us to negotiate a license with terms specific to the intended research.
Help with Terms: Libraries will help you understand the terms of the license for these products.

While other options may also be available, we have negotiated access for the following:

Elsevier API
Elsevier provides an API for researchers to mine content from 84+ million scholarly articles. Please note: an addendum needs to be added to the library contract for this use. Please contact the Research Data Librarian for additional information.
