# Trove books

Here you'll find Jupyter notebooks to work with data from Trove's 'book' zone. Trove's 'book' zone includes books (of course), but also ephemera (like pamphlets and leaflets) and theses. You can access metadata from the book zone through the Trove API.

See the [Trove books section](https://glam-workbench.net/trove-books/) of the GLAM Workbench for more details.

## Notebook topics

### Harvesting data

* [**Harvesting the text of digitised books (and ephemera)**](Harvesting-digitised-books.ipynb) – assemble a list of books in digital form using the API, then download OCRd text from as many as possible
* [**Metadata for Trove digitised works**](Metadata-for-Trove-digitised-works.ipynb) – extract embedded metadata from digital work pages
* [**Getting the text of Trove books from the Internet Archive**](Getting-Trove-books-from-Internet-Archive.ipynb) – identify books in Trove that are available through the Internet Archive, download text where available


### Exploring harvested books

* [**Counting words and phrases**](counting-words-in-text.ipynb) – simple examples of counting words and ngrams in a piece of text, using OCRd text from Trove books
* [**Recipe generator**](recipe-generator.ipynb) – extracts parts of speech from the OCRd text of a recipe book available through Trove, then reassemble to create random recipes
