About the Library of Contingencies

a card within the library, both obverse and reverse sides

The Library of Contingencies is a digital collection of the cards produced for the text Tasks of the Contingent Librarian. The interface consists of a website with two iframes, into which an "obverse" and a "reverse" of each card is displayed. On the obverse is a task and its description, and on the reverse are images and related snippets. It follows a similar logic and offers similar affordances as the printed cards, but with the addition of snippets makes reference to concrete examples of the practice I have been developing with the bootleg library.

The content for the site is pulled from the pziwiki, with the "obverse" listed in my namespace of the wiki (User:Simon), and the "reverse" in the discussion section (User_talk:Simon).

All the obverse cards are transcluded in the Tasks of the Contingent Librarian page, and all the reverse cards are listed in Category: Library Snippets
