Bulk Access to VTechWorks Files

If you would like to use the files in VTechWorks for research purposes, such as text and data mining, please use our REST API.   Some documentation for the API is on the DSpace wiki, and there are also Python scripts for using the DSpace API.  We are working on providing better documentation for accessing the files in VTechWorks via the API.

If you are a Virginia Tech researcher, the entire repository is in a Jupyter notebook.  Email us with a description of your needs to gain access at vtechworks@vt.edu.
