… splendiferous remix …

Library Hack

Entries for the LibraryHack competition to remix data from Australian libraries have now closed. You can see them all on the Libraryhack Entries page . Prizes are announced 24 June.

I have two favourites so far.

1) The glorious image viewer is a physical installation that consists of three cylinders that rotate, displaying projected images from the library’s collection. This little movie tells you more about it: 3D Interactive projection image viewer .

2) Convictbook that displays using a Facebook-like interface information and photos of over 100 000 convicts from the State Library of Queensland’s Convict Transfer Register. The link above is to the entry page at LibraryHack, but you can see Convictbook  live here: Convictbook
