I can turn to the back of Gunther Kress&#8217;s <i>Literacy in<br \/>\nthe New Media Age<\/i>, for example, and find all of the pages where &quot;design&quot;<br \/>\nturns up. I suspect that the indexes at the ends of books are automated in<br \/>\nmany cases with, perhaps, a slight amount of customization from the writer and<br \/>\neditor. Still, there are times when indexes don&#8217;t list the terms I want to<br \/>\nput in a row, follow. I&#8217;m aware of the labor-intensive manual methods for<br \/>\ntracing terms, and still I&#8217;m warm to shortcuts for what can be needlessly<br \/>\nexhaustive chores. Smarter, not harder, like my dad always says.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Given that the course is defined thematically around notions of mapping the<br \/>\nfuture of disciplinarity, &quot;future&quot; seemed like an obvious choice to trace<br \/>\nthrough Kress&#8217;s book. The index doesn&#8217;t include an entry for &quot;future&quot;,<br \/>\nhowever, so I went ahead and searched for the term at the Google Books port for<br \/>\n<i>LITNMA<\/i> and came away with<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/books.google.com\/books?q=future&#038;id=HSiX8lJPhBMC&#038;vid=ISBN0415253551&#038;dq=Literacy+in+the+New+Media+Age&#038;lr=&#038;ie=UTF-8\"><br \/>\nfifteen occurrences<\/a> scattered throughout. I tracked them<br \/>\ndown (Google Books only gives partial excerpts when the content isn&#8217;t<br \/>\n&quot;restricted&quot;) and included the passages on a handout: &quot;Kress&#8217;s Fifteen Futures.&quot;<br \/>\nFor added locative precision, I included page numbers and quadrants. This<br \/>\nweek I switched over to noting a-b-c-d quadrants (left) after a talk with Collin.<br \/>\nMy soon-to-be-retired page-recording system relied on an intuitive but messy legend of top-mid-bot<br \/>\n(right)<br \/>\nfor tracking down word\/phrase locations on the page. <\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/33032196@N00\/103646054\/\" title=\"Photo Sharing\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/static.flickr.com\/26\/103646054_9063ff0d12_m.jpg?resize=180%2C240\" width=\"180\" height=\"240\" alt=\"Page in Four Parts\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/33032196@N00\/103646073\/\" title=\"Photo Sharing\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/static.flickr.com\/32\/103646073_667b23e881_m.jpg?resize=180%2C240\" width=\"180\" height=\"240\" alt=\"Page in Three Parts\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Using the a-b-c-d method, the page markers for &quot;future&quot; passages came out<br \/>\nlike this:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>13b: It will pay attention to the context of social, economic and political<br \/>\nchanges of the present period and those of the near <b>future<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>22c: There is also the overwhelming reason that the conditions of our present<br \/>\nand of the near <b>future<\/b>&#8211;economic, social, technological&#8211;are ushering in a<br \/>\ndistinctively different era of communication.<\/p>\n<p>37b: Because the present state and likely <b>future<\/b> of literacy causes such<br \/>\nanxiety&#8211;at times at least partially justified&#8211;I want to say something briefly<br \/>\nabout the affordances of writing and image, and perhaps of speech as well.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Fairly straightforward, right? What more could we do with this?<br \/>\nIn class, the question came up whether Google Books would allow for multi-term<br \/>\nsearches. At the time, I wasn&#8217;t sure, but I&#8217;ve explored it since to find<br \/>\nout that it supports combination searches. The problem is that each<br \/>\npage is a separate data-set in Google&#8217;s system (as far as I can tell), so it won&#8217;t<br \/>\ntie together<br \/>\nclusters of terms that break across pages. Given the arbitrariness of page<br \/>\nbreaks, this seems like something that could be improved (I probably should&#8217;ve<br \/>\nmentioned that the entire spirit of this entry is wishful, speculative).<br \/>\nHere&#8217;s the rub. We can search words, phrases and sentences; Google Books<br \/>\nsupports this quite well. But what about searching for concentrations in a<br \/>\nsemantic field. In other words, grab a handful of terms from the semantic<br \/>\nfield of futurisms: shift, turn, future, instability, new, transformation,<br \/>\nrevolution. I&#8217;d really like to be able to select any combination of terms<br \/>\nas a way to sift for passages where they appear together. The semantic<br \/>\nfields could be user defined (tag-sets, basically), and they might be stored for<br \/>\nfuture returns, for sharing, for application to other texts, book-length and<br \/>\notherwise (go on, tell me if this is already possible). Something like the<br \/>\ntag families and selection system at use with del.icio.us would be terrific<br \/>\nhere.<\/p>\n<p>And while I&#8217;m on it, why not have selectable bibliographic entries that<br \/>\nindicate the pages where those sources are taken up. Let&#8217;s say I want to<br \/>\nswiftly zero in on all of the places where Halliday&#8217;s <i>Language as a Social<br \/>\nSemiotic<\/i> is invoked in<br \/>\n<i>LITNMA<\/i>. I could search for &quot;Halliday&quot;, but there&#8217;s another source<br \/>\nof his in the bibliography and it&#8217;s not certain that every reference would<br \/>\ninclude his last name. I hope you Google techs are reading this because<br \/>\nI&#8217;d really like to see something like that, too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"span-reading-time rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\">\u23f3 Approximate reading time: <\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\"> 3<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">mins<\/span><\/span>Ever since I discovered that many of the books listed for 712 this semester are searchable in Google Books, I&#8217;ve been thinking about some of the ways to merge the full-text search with my reading and note-keeping habits, especially as an added aid to memory and for tracing themes\/topoi.
