Keynote: Annotation as an Artistic Act: Speculative Annotation, a New Library of Congress Web-based Experiment
Courtney McClellan, Artist and Library of Congress 2021 Innovator in Residence, will talk about Speculative Annotation, a dynamic, educational website created for the Library of Congress.

In addition to addressing inspirations, process and goals, the presentation will speak to the development of the tool, institutional collaboration at the Library and the curation of a mini collection, as well as how classroom user testing influenced the resulting application.

Social Hour: Annotate This Party With Annotation Show-and-Tell
Got a favorite digital annotation or one in the margins of a book from your shelf? How about an annotation from the wide world beyond books? Graffiti? Tattoos? Skywriting? What do you like about it? How does it help you understand and/or question a text? How does it help you connect to other people and ideas? Bring your annotations to show-and-tell, or just come to hear from others. Feel free to dress up — as a text of your choice, as a character from a book, or as something you’d leave in the margins of a text — human emoji, anyone?
