Over the past several months, Anna’s Archive has been secretly scraping WorldCat, the world’s largest book metadata database.
WorldCat is run by the non-profit organization OCLC and works with tens of thousands of libraries globally. Its database is proprietary and not freely available but Anna’s Archive managed to bypass the restrictions, to make their own copy freely available.
“Even though OCLC is a non-profit, their business model requires protecting their database. Well, we’re sorry to say, friends at OCLC, we’re giving it all away,” Anna’s Archive notes.
PS: We do want to give a genuine shout-out to the Worldcat team. Even though it was a small tragedy that your data was locked up, you did an amazing job at getting 30,000 libraries on board to share their metadata with you. As with many of our releases, we could not have done it without the decades of hard work you put into building the collections that we now liberate. Truly: thank you.
The meta-search engine says it managed to scrape a staggering three terabytes of metadata. The dataset includes 1.3 billion unique IDs that, after removing duplicates and other noise, equate to 700 million unique records.

Here's the book's OCLC WorldCat page to see if Scott Stuart's book My Shadow is Purple is available near you. Or if you'd rather buy, then IndieBound/ Bookshop can tell you of local independent bookstores selling it. There are two related books by Scott Stuart My Shadow is Pink, and How to be a Real Man.

@two-hands-toward-the-sun
so the gist of this hypothetical dissertation would be talking about queerness as an embodied concept in the OG sandman comix - namely how queerness becomes elided with bodily autonomy (or lack thereof). from my proposed triad, clearly i am thinking about the Corinthian, but i'd also want to talk about Wanda, Desire, Hazel and Foxglove. i'd be situating my analysis in relation to the AIDS crisis (which informs a lot of the comix), alongside a foucaultian understanding of biopolitics (whose bodies are seen as expendable and to what extent, whose bodies are under surveillance/control, etc).
some thoughts i'd want to explore: Wanda's womanhood and how it's realized through the medium but also contested among the powers that be - ritual magic vs the Endless. Desire as a villain and nonbinary identities as a disruption to spacetime as a storied concept. the Corinthian as specifically queer horror: he preys on young men, outing them in their deaths, and he's the worst case scenario of cruising, which involves a lot of vulnerability in the face of societal violence. (VERY interesting, also, that the second Corinthian's "redemption," so to speak, involves saving a small [read: innocent] child from violence and no real address of the desire that had him [heavily implied] sleeping with his victims.) who "gets" to embody queerness and what are the limits on that expression? what does queerness "look like" in the sandman universe? how are these bodies regulated/surveilled? there's a lot of overlap with queerness, violence, and/or disease in the sandman comix that reflects the ideas of the period in which it was made, but also...imho...deserves serious critique.

I just saw a tumblr user refer to an elder’s research prowess in looking for a book in some “Mysterious Cataloguing Site” (capitals original), presenting this site like an impossibly esoteric part of the Deep Web that only researchers who’ve pulled the sword from the stone or whatever are granted access to. the site in question was WorldCat.

the conference is either
international society for sociology of sport association
or
international sociology of sport association (this is the version on his cv)
unfortunately i suspect it may have just been presented at that conference and never have been published in a journal. although at least two people have access to it (at least two ph.d/masters theses cite it and one court case, although the case doesn't go much in depth and i suspect may have just been citing the excerpts quoted in alexis peters' thesis).
