XPUB2: ONLINE: bootleg library session with Simon Browne 14:00 - 16:00 (please sign up for this session OR the other on 08/10/20)
bootleg library session: a day in the library
The bootleg library is a digital/physical/social collection of unauthorised republished texts. It was initiated by Simon Browne as his graduation project at XPUB in 2020. The digital bootleg library is available to XPUB staff and students as a stable study resource for XPUB. To familiarise staff and students with the digital bootleg library, several bootleg library sessions have been organised. XPUB2 students are invited to attend one of these sessions (please sign up by writing your names at the bottom of this page).
In this session we will:
- have a quick tour of the digital bootleg library
- upload and download texts and edit metadata
- create registered user accounts
- make and edit a "shelf"
- annotate the collection, using this workflow
Preparation (please do this prior to the session):
- Install pandoc, an open-source universal document converter: https://pandoc.org/installing.html
- We'll also be using markdown, a lightweight markup language. It's good to quickly familiarise yourself with it via this cheatsheet and full documentation is available here
- Choose a PDF to upload, a text that you are familiar with and that you feel represents your interests. It doesn't have to be an academic text, anything is accepted (e.g cookbook, comic, novel, zine, ferry schedule, etc)
Time: 14:00-16:00
Location (works best on Chrome/Chromium): https://hotline.xpub.nl/thelibraryisopen
