I am having fun with Trove bots - thanks to @wragge

First, go and read Trove bots for all by @wragge.   I have been having fun playing with this. I have made a tag bot for the word cake (and now I need to tag a lot more articles in Trove with cake) which is @trovebotcake. I tried another one for knitting @troveknitbot.

I have tried the Trove bot for newspapers and have done The land - @Trovelandbot, and combined bot for Dutch Weekly and Dutch Australian Weekly, @TroveDutchbot.

This is really fun, as you can tell by what I am doing, and I am much faster.  I will stop here, for now, but go and make your own Trove bot now.

Trove collection profiler

The Trove collection profiler (thanks to Tim Sherratt) is a wonderful tool for exploring collections on Trove.  It is also a great way of finding which collections are not being shared on Trove too.

a footnote to my post about - Are the knitters in your library treated like makers?

In my post  Are the knitters in your library treated like makers? I was focusing on the in library makers.  I should not have left out a mention of the connections between Ravelry and Trove which are well described at Trove users still crafty.  This is an exciting link bringing the makers and the historic patterns together and resulting in new made objects all over the work=ld.  To see photographs of some of the projects click on the project column in this link from Ravelry. The Land also is mentioned.
