| The bootleg library is a digital/physical/social collection of unauthorised republished texts. It was initiated by [[User:Simon|Simon Browne]] at XPUB in 2020. The digital bootleg library is available to XPUB as a stable study resource. This session is to introduce the bootleg library to new students, and try out some ways of organising and annotating the collection. This session is open to XPUB1 and any interested XPUB2. Please write your name at the bottom of this page to sign up for this workshop.
