Just reading @lhowsam 's piece for SHARP News reflecting on feminist book history from the 1990s to now, and this is exactly what I hope for us too: "Now that feminist (and otherwise diverse) book history is more established, what I hope for the next twenty-five years and beyond is that our field of study will be capacious, ambitious, generous, and collaborative."

I subbed in for our Digital Libraries class today where we did Markdown and an introduction to GitHub. During one of the activities, a student drew this diagram to help explain to her neighbors GitHub fetch, pull, commit, and push 😂 I think it’s pretty accurate!! #DH

Doing the additional TEI encoding to parse out the information in inventory entries can be kind of mind-numbing (requires background hockey podcast), but I love doing the visualization at the end. This is my fav inventory from my metadata happy 17th c. priest #BookHistory

Also, PLEASE submit if the dissertation was done at a UK institution. It seems like EThOS is still down after the BL cyber attack, and I'm not sure yet if all UK institutions are indexed elsewhere (I have contacted the BL). #BookHistory

A) just plain A-Z ordering by last name or

My first book review came out today! *Metadata for Digital Collections* by Steven Miller (2nd ed.). I really do like this book, and we use it to teach Digital Libraries here at IU and I think about its approach in my own stuff. Available here (https://utpjournals.press/doi/abs/10.3138/jelis-2022-0077) or if you email me! #metadata #libraries

Some good news to share! I’m one of the recipients of the Willison Charitable Trust grants this year! The grant will support 11 weeks of dissertation research this summer on booksellers and private libraries in Navarre. So it’ll be another summer of inventories, court cases, & notaries! #BookHistory

What have people used for truncation symbols (preferrably unicode)? I keep seeing ones like in the image below for -ae, but I've scrolled through a heck of a lot of #Unicode and haven't found anything. Most of the scribal abbreviations are in Latin extended D, but not this #BookHistory #mss #manuscripts #DH #TEI

This has also finally driven me to add the fields "earliest plausible edition" and "latest plausible" edition to my item database entry. Bc I can't say 1560 or 1562 for sure, but I could visualize plausible spreads for each bookseller to see whether they dealt in more recent/older books #BookHistory

Went from thinking an entry was unidentifiable to the work, to thinking I had the edition, to finally concluding that it's either a 1560 Lyon Giunta ed. or a 1562 Lyon re-issue by Sebastian Honorat. This is why we search seemingly nonsense phrases in Google Books! They might be real! #BookHistory

More fun examples where you can definitely tell people were dictating titles to scribes when making book inventories:

"Claudi petolomey"

Someone clearly has not been informed of the silent "p" in Ptolemy!

#BookHistory people!!! We really need you to submit your images of texts, visualizations, and any images you've used in your book history research, teaching, etc. so @ellen_mic can create this alt text guide to go with the upcoming bibliography which will incorporate electronic text, audiobooks, talking books, and braille.
