-The bootleg library is a particular, situated social infrastructure. It operates from the premise that a library is a collection; the texts contained within, and the readers collected around them.

-'''1) bootlegging, republishing and distributing printed books'''<br>
+== Tasks of the Contingent Librarian ==
-Each book is printed and bound in an edition of one. Bootlegging happens on a case-by-case basis; by myself, for others, and with others, depending on individual demands.

-'''2) conducting bootleg library sessions in various locations'''<br>
+== Writing & presentations ==
-''bootleg library sessions'' are moments for readers to collect together around texts. Each session is loosely organised, and readers are invited to stay as long as they like. Sessions are open to everyone, and the conversation often drifts. What is important is the texts that are produced in these sessions (see below).

-'''3) producing texts'''<br>
+==Library of Contingencies==
-This activity happens as the result of both the first two activities. Texts are printed and bound when bootlegging. Texts are written on index cards, in collaborative writing environments such as Etherpad, in the metadata of the digital library when users are registered and books are uploaded, and in the various conversations that happen in each bootleg library session, which happens in different places, with different publics.
