The day started with my office ceiling collapsing on my new loom, and ended with my #HathiTrust data capsule, presumably, being possessed by Satan, given it wouldn't do anything besides type the number 6, unbidden as I was trying to teach. #loom #DigitalHumanities #TextileMakerspace

Still, we're no closer to the dream of Project Bamboo for some kind of infrastructure that can bring together disparate collections with scalable algorithms, in a way that everyone gets credit. The closest thing I can think of is #HathiTrust -- and that only works within its own texts and ecosystems. Good luck combining that with things your university has subscribed to. (Also, it's not easy to use!) #DHNB2023

I have spent the day teaching everything from #HathiTrust collection-building to vanquishing Word gremlins to getting Unicode data into Excel to rotary cutter skills to Cricut configuring to threading a serger and coverstitch at the #TextileMakerspace -- all to friendly & agreeable adults. I am so tired. I would not survive two days as an elementary school teacher. #DigitalHumanities

Today while teaching I learned that the #HathiTrust corpus includes... two board games. Here's the public domain one:

@Sbectol @ct_bergstrom @cgseife well, let's digitize them all. Oh, we did, but the publishers did a big FUD and got JK Rowling to complain.

Hmm. I wonder if we could do a confirmation that #HathiTrust had the book, and it conformed to a signature... So we wouldn't have to make it available (god forbid) but had a level of trust in the citation.

Sneak peak of the new #DataSittersClub book cover! Cadence Cordell and I check out #HathiTrust… just like how Stacey invites her friends to NYC. #DigitalHumanities
