<p><b>Marginal Conversation</b><br>
We read texts, and write notes in the margins; usually in private, isolated from other readers. We come across texts with others' notes on them; the author unknown, their thoughts obscure. What happens when we share our notes, vocalise and perform them?</p>
How do we reveal the hidden labour involved in these processes? What libraries become possible when you transform physical books into digital files, and vice versa? </p>
<p>In this workshop you will be a librarian converting books into machine readable files, a process involving tools, time and choices.</p>
