I chose to work within the calendar year 1830, focusing my search on Homerton Academy. With tools such as Kumu, Scraper, and xPath Finder (the latter two being Chrome extensions), I scraped data from the DAO database and used it to map connections between books and borrowers during that year, as seen below.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless of the time\u00a0I spent working on this project (due to the fact that I had to constantly seek help in fixing my own errors, because I&#8217;m a Creative Writing major and computers are hard) the end product was surprisingly cool. I didn&#8217;t even have to ask for help on Part III, which kind of made me question reality for a few minutes but it&#8217;s all cool now.<\/p>\n<p>So there you have it &#8211; a comprehensive, slightly jiggly map of connections between the borrowers and the books of Homerton Academy in 1830.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/embed.kumu.io\/9dd68cd66f44efa057b8f9ff64550954\" width=\"940\" height=\"600\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Let&#8217;s work with web scraping and social networking,&#8221; they said. &#8220;It doesn&#8217;t matter if you&#8217;re technologically inept,&#8221; they said.
