U-Blad corpus now available in I-Analyzer |
| How can I-Analyzer work better for you? |
|
The CDH Research Software Lab has added all print editions of U-Blad to the online text and data mining tool I-Analyzer. U-Blad served as Utrecht University’s independent magazine from 1969 to 2010. U-Blad offered a colourful account of university happenings, city life, and student culture. By making U-Blad’s print editions available in I-Analyzer, researchers and students can now easily explore these texts.
