Workshops
Balázs Bodó
In the first class of this trimester, we (XPUB) were introduced to a big collection of shadow libraries. Each library seems to follow a different path: distinct methods for cataloging, an idea of what the role of the librarian should be, a specific user interface, etc.
We looked into Aaaaarg, Ubu, Project Gutenberg, Library Genesis, Clockwise libraries, Memory of the world, Monoskop, Bilbiotecha and The Piratebay.
We tried to answer some questions:
Content: What is in the library? How much? Users: Who is using / uploading / downloading? Catalog: What is the system? How is it organised? How about its ontology? Infrastructure: What are technical specs? Software? Hardware? Politics: What is the attitude? Economy: Sponsors? Donation? Advertising? Law: How does it interface?
