In his speech address “Applications of Big Data Analysis for the Worldwide Collection of ETDs” Dr. Fox will talk about how “big data” collection could support a broad range of applications, aiding students, researchers, scholars, sponsors, administrators, librarians, archivists, and others interested in this vast body of knowledge.
