about the bootleg library
the bootleg library is a digital, and physical collection of texts. the library consists of bootlegged texts, not in the sense of cheap knock-offs, but instead as unauthorised, fairly faithful reproductions of source publications. development of the library is ongoing, in line with feedback given during sessions.
the physical library is a growing collection of republished books, currently stored in an old champagne case. most of these are bootlegged by library members, some donated by visitors. the digital library (running on the open-source software calibre-web) is available at this URL:
hub.xpub.nl/bootleglibrary
then enter in the following login details:
user: {redacted} password: {redacted}
user accounts
registered users can access all of the features of the library, including creating and editing public and private “shelves”, which are ways to organise the collection together, or individually. user account registrations can be made at bootleg library sessions, or by request (send an email to simon at redacted@gmail.com).
the current collection
the bootleg library is small but growing, individually uploaded and catalogued by readers who are motivated simply by the desire to share the texts they read. and so the collection represents the readers interests, which range from critical theory to feminisms to literature to technical manuals and zines (and a lot more).

over de “bootleg library”
de “bootleg library” is een digitale en fysieke collectie van teksten. deze bibliotheek bestaat uit “bootlegged” teksten. dit zijn geen goedkope aftreksels, maar ongeautoriseerde, vrij precieze reproducties van orginele publicaties. de bibliotheek is in ontwikkeling, en laat zich sturen door de gesprekken die tijdens sessies worden gevoerd.
de fysieke bibliotheek is een groeiende collectie van hergepubliceerde boeken, op dit moment opgeslagen in een oude champagne doos. het grootste deel van deze publicaties zijn “bootlegs” van leden van de bibliotheek, anderen zijn gedoneerd door bezoekers. de digitale bibliotheek (die draait op het open source software project calibre-web) is te vinden op:
hub.xpub.nl/bootleglibrary
daar kun je de volgende login gegevens invoeren:
user: {geredigeerd} password: {geredigeerd}
gebruikersaccounts
geregistreerde gebruikers kunnen alle functies van de bibliotheek gebruiken, zoals het maken en aanpassen van publieke en persoonlijke “planken”, een instrument om collecties samen of individueel te beheren. gebruikersaccounts kunnen gemaakt worden tijdens “bootleg library” sessies, of op aanvraag (send an email to simon at geredigeerd@gmail.com).
de huidige collectie
the “bootleg library” is klein maar groeiende, individueel geupload en beheerd door lezers die simpelweg gemotiveerd zijn om teksten te delen die zij lezen. de collectie reflecteert daardoor de interesse van haar lezers, wat variëert van kritische theorie tot feminismes tot literatuur tot technische handleidingen en zines (en nog veel meer).
