- a collaborative research center (jointly managed by Indiana University and the University of Illinois) dedicated to developing cutting-edge software tools and cyberinfrastructure that enable advanced computational access to large amounts of digital text. Let's unpack this:
- "computational access" - computational analysis, algorithmic analysis, distant reading, text-mining
- "cyberinfrastructure" - Data to Insight center Center at University of Indiana, : supercomputers, data warehouse, SOLR
- "large amounts" - "at scale", the bigger the better (more signal, less noise)
- "cutting edge" - experimental by nature, things can break, things are unfinished/in-development; see the DSPS blog post on HTRC Uncamp 2015 for most recent developments
- intended to serve and build community for scholars interested in text analysis; join usergroup user group mailing list (send an email to htrc-usergroup-l-subscribe@list.indiana.edu)

The "portal"
- "SHARC" branding in URL (Secure HathiTrust Analytical Research Commons) - eventually all services will be accessed through the portal.
- access to tools depends on login; see the Portal & Workset Builder Tutorial for v3.0, "" for details
