Reading
The innocent reading first. Asked for the archive, the Overview gives its founding, where its holdings sit, its catalog and digital library, its journal, and offers to point the user to an artist or periodical.
Findings
- THE ARCHIVE AT ITS GRAIN. The home page: 'Founded in 1979, the International Dada Archive is a scholarly resource for the study of the historic Dada movement.' and 'a catalog containing approximately 60,000 titles'. The composition: 'roughly 60,000 titles', and the location 'primarily split between the Main Library and the Art Library, with rare materials in Special Collections', which the page states as 'most of its holdings are in either the Main Library or the Art Library' with the Digital Dada Library's originals 'housed in the Special Collections Department'.
- TWO ADDITIONS AND A ROLE SHIFTED. 'following a 1978 international Dada conference hosted at the university' and 'One of the world's largest repositories' are on no saved page. 'Co-publisher of the peer-reviewed scholarly journal Dada/Surrealism': the page makes the Archive its sole publisher, 'sponsored by the Association for the Study of Dada and Surrealism and published by the International Dada Archive, University of Iowa Libraries.'
- THE BOOKS BY AUTHOR NOT CARRIED. The census reads the Digital Dada Library's author list as holding a pen name and a civil name side by side ('SALOMO FRIEDLAENDER (MYNONA)', 'Iliazd (Ilia Zdanevich)') and one book under both: 'JULIUS KREKEL (CLÉMENT PANSAERS): ZIEK; EENE MOEDER; HERTETOLKEN' and, under 'CLÉMENT PANSAERS', the same 'ZIEK; EENE MOEDER; HERTETOLKEN'. The composition offers help with 'An individual artist or writer you want to research' and gives no account of how the list files a writer.
- THE TERMS AND THE CURATOR NOT CARRIED. 'These documents are provided for research purposes only.'; 'Your library should treat the International Dada Archive as a "lender of last resort."'; 'Timothy Shipe, Curator'. The composition names the Libraries and neither the curator nor the terms; its 'scanned images' agrees with 'These are page-image files only, not searchable full-text files.'
Analysis analyst prose, not machine text
Faithful to the archive's own page on founding, holdings and count, with a conference, a world rank and a co-publisher on no saved page. The author list the census reads it for, where one book stands under a pen name and a civil name, is absent.
Machine text, verbatim
