Trip developed a love for Australian books as a puppy. She’s here to talk about @AustLit and reading! A research project by @millicent_weber and @beth_driscoll

@ClaireSquires What a beautiful book Claire! Thanks! Are you going to visit any dogs on your TRIP? 🐶⛴

[SHARP Ice Cream @sharpicecream]

Important new article featuring yours truly, @ouchSHARP @RobotDarnton & other important voices in @SHARPorg (also a dog and a robot @AustLitTrip @austlitcodex) 🍦💉🐕📚) https://t.co/5DwA2MQSBh

[Trip, AustLit Kelpie @AustLitTrip]

I am feeling super excited (and just a little bit shy) about being the star of this great new article about @AustLit and Twitter! I hope my bookish friends enjoy it! 🐶📚

[Millie Weber @Millicent_Weber]

.@Beth_driscoll and my essay “Playful Twitter accounts and the socialisation of literary institutions”, the first scholarly article to cite the infamous @MoonPie, is published today. Want to go behind the scenes with @AustLitTrip and @austlitcodex? YES —> https://t.co/UByyy9iudu

[Dr Rachel Franks (she, her) @cfwriter]

@Beth_driscoll @AustLit @Millicent_Weber @AustLitTrip @austlitcodex It was a very proud moment for this young Australian when I stumbled across my own work in @AustLit.

[Beth Driscoll @Beth_driscoll]

Elizabeth Webby urges us to look at @AustLit, which is indeed a magnificent resource. Sharpists might be interested in my and @Millicent_Weber’s Twitter-based research project on the dissemination of this database: @AustLitTrip and @austlitcodex (one is a sheepdog) #sharp18

[Trip, AustLit Kelpie @AustLitTrip]

@Beth_driscoll @AustLit @Millicent_Weber @austlitcodex Oh hi! That's me! Woof!

[Trip, AustLit Kelpie @AustLitTrip]

Hi @drmilthorpe, I really enjoyed meeting Evelyn Waugh's bookish snakes at #litinterface! I know some of them said they couldn't read, but maybe they'd enjoy practicing with the books about snakes in the @AustLit database: https://t.co/QzEyeg1OFE

[Trip, AustLit Kelpie @AustLitTrip]

Hi @bendragonborn! I'm a book-loving dog, and I love reading about dragons. I hope you enjoy looking at all the great books about dragons I found in the @AustLit database: https://t.co/RvMlKSMr0k https://t.co/Hkuzr4tEGj

[Dianne Astle/Eliza Broughton @bendragonborn]

If you can't be a dragon and fly high, then get a dog and write books with dragons in them.

Hi @GIowlust! I'm a dog, and I can't drive either - damn that lack of opposable thumbs! I do like reading though, and public transport. Here's a list of stories about coyotes that you might enjoy reading on your next bus trip: https://t.co/y9IS2OVM28 https://t.co/Ie8aUwKo5w

[Trip, AustLit Kelpie @AustLitTrip]

@ClaireSquires @AustLit For some reason there are lots more works about ferries set in Sydney, I wonder why ... https://t.co/wA4ZAmPPyY

[Trip, AustLit Kelpie @AustLitTrip]

Ooh hi @ClaireSquires, it's super exciting you're coming to visit us! For a quick bookish trip (hehe, get it?) around Melbourne, why not read some of the thousands of novels about this beautiful city listed in the @AustLit database: https://t.co/9jPv0GIB5x https://t.co/zkIijPsfIL

[Trip, AustLit Kelpie @AustLitTrip]

@ClaireSquires @AustLit You're going to be shocked @ClaireSquires to find out that I couldn't find anything set in Melbourne about both ferries and dogs! Here are three novels about Melbournian dogs: https://t.co/MI6sOHdJJh; and a couple of poems about ferries in Melbourne: https://t.co/WpcVOxaUBN;

[Trip, AustLit Kelpie @AustLitTrip]

Hi @EmmettStinson! What a great question. Unfortunately (maybe a bit ironically, heehee) i couldn't find any records in the @AustLit database. A few songs that mention dogs are the best I can do: https://t.co/kXh54r1RnF; https://t.co/VbeaIsVrDX

[Trip, AustLit Kelpie @AustLitTrip]

Hi @Czaroline, your dog is too cute. What's their name? Do they like reading too? I'm an Aussie dog, and I love books! I especially love books about dogs ... maybe your furry friend would too? Here are some recommendations from the @AustLit database: https://t.co/lDsSZo3ICj; https://t.co/dXGcd7OzZy

[Trip, AustLit Kelpie @AustLitTrip]

Hi @ElectricLit! Do you have any yoga recommendations for me, a bookish dog? It turns out that yoga is something a lot of Australians have written stories and poems about: https://t.co/6APsQrGS08 https://t.co/819dbpJQfK

[Electric Literature @ElectricLit]

Sometimes you just need to take some time out for a little yoga. https://t.co/LHge0l7M13

[Trip, AustLit Kelpie @AustLitTrip]

@ClaireSquires @AustLit Any time! Have fun 🐶🐶

[Trip, AustLit Kelpie @AustLitTrip]

Hi @ClaireSquires! There seems to be some kind of curious affinity between books and ferries in your work... 📚⛴ so I though you might like to check out the huge number of ferries in @AustLit: https://t.co/lOpxlY7NqE https://t.co/sOTnmYwfQB

[Trip, AustLit Kelpie @AustLitTrip]

Hi Artie! Glad to see you're home from the vet and safely back at @Lighthousebks again. Nice boot 🐶👢

As a fellow bookish dog, I reckon that reading some stories and poems about boots might inspire your recovery? Here's a few from the @AustLit database: https://t.co/w17bfTEgPg https://t.co/XHJzH40jyH

[Lighthouse - Edinburgh’s Radical Bookshop @Lighthousebks]

Home. And lookin good

[Trip, AustLit Kelpie @AustLitTrip]

As a pup from rural Australia, I love reading about fair dinkum Aussie slang. I particularly love when it gets used in stories and poems! Here are some dinky-die results from @AustLit: https://t.co/eeaLe60HiA https://t.co/jVTgtX7BFv

@angsavage @AustLit The @nlagovau subscribes (https://t.co/kxkHwrcfRy) as do most of the universities :)

[Trip, AustLit Kelpie @AustLitTrip]

Hi Angela! Hi eight-legged arachnid friends! Maybe you will find the answers that you seek in the tangled web (ha!) of metadata that is the @AustLit database? Here are some stories and poems about cobwebs that I found: https://t.co/YyLjLB5RyH https://t.co/mbFlkJuN5d

[Angela Savage @angsavage]

Need a word for the phenomenon of walking into the silk thread of a spiderweb across a path. I came up with ‘arachnibannered’. Any other suggestions? #words
