XPUB2: ONLINE: bootleg library session with Simon Browne 14:00 - 16:00 day1
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, a session has been organised, in which 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"
- practice strategies of annotating the collection
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. Documentation is available here: https://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/
- 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)
