Ideas

Diana Iles, for her idea, Discovery

Before the announcement there will be a stimulating and thought provoking panel discussion. Anna Raunik, Project Manager of Libraryhack, Gavin Sade of kuuki, Dr Ian McColl, Senior Research Fellow in the faculty of Science and Technology at QUT and Brian Fitzgerald, Professor of Intellectual Property and Innovation at QUT will talk together about the challenges of open data,  building engaged communities and libraries as creative digital hubs.

Some of the most innovative Libraryhack entries from around Australia, including interactive 3D projections, photo mash-ups, iPhone app demonstrations, web games and music remixes will be on display at The Edge. This exhibition will be open until 1 August.

Here’s the description of the entry from the creator “This movie encourages people to ‘travel’ online using library resources. The images and music relate to early forms of travel. The movie is a kind of slideshow, and it uses images from the collections of the State Library of Queensland, the National Archives of the Netherlands, and the Boston Public Library.

The music, ‘Come Josephine in my Flying Machine’, is a digitised cylinder recording from an online collection. The Cylinder Preservation and Digitization Project is based at the Donald C. Davidson Library, University of California, Santa Barbara. Cylinder recordings were the very first commercially available sound recordings. If the music sounds a little scratchy at first, it might be because this year is its hundredth birthday. uses data from Queensland and the Netherlands from their Flickr Commons photostreams.”

Here’s how the mashup was created:
10 Gigapixel (10,000,000,000 pixels) mosaic of the State of Queensland made from 52,102 images from the State Library of Queensland’s out of copyright photographs from their photograph collection “People and places from across Queensland across time”. Data source is here: http://data.gov.au/dataset/picture-queensland/

The image for the mosaic is NASA’s Blue Marble Imagery cropped to the political boundary of Queensland. The mosaic was created using AndreaMosaic’s 64bit professional version, Photoshop CS5 and DeepZoom tools. It was processed on a Dell dual 6 core Xeon X5680 T5500 Workstation with 24GB Ram. It took just under 7 days to compile the images, mosaic, process, tile and upload to the website. The energy used to power the hardware was offset by a 6KW/h Solar System and the Queensland Sun.

Newserve from 3Colors on Vimeo.

Newserve provides an easy-to-use search interface, interlacing the results on the map and a timeline glider. The ultimate goal of Newserve is to provide a single point of access to all newspaper resources in libraries of Australia – whether it be just catalogue information of the newspapers stored in the libraries of Australia or be the digitized newspaper collections.

Data sets used

At present Newserve is powered by following datasets:

• State Library of NSW‘s newspaper catalogue data.
• Trove digitised newspaper collection.

The catalogue data was available in MARC21 format. We have parsed it’s different fields and extracted the required information, indexed the data and laid it out as a layer on the map with timeline. Trove data is accessed using the experimental trove API, which is developed by Tim Sherratt. in the future, We plan to add the newspaper catalogue data of all the state libraries of Australia as those are become available

Newserve features

Visualisation features:

• Visulaisation on map – mapping all the newspapers of State Library of NSW collection and also Trove digital collection
• Timeline visualisation – Along with map all the newspapers are shown on a timeline glider
• Interactive timeline traversal – Just press the play button to see the the evolution of newspapers in Australia

Search features:

• Search the newspaper collection catalouge of State Library of NSW by title, date and location
• Search Trove digital collection by keyword, title, date and location
• Filter the map markers to see either catalouge data or Trove data or both

This artwork uses Queensland search terms data and SLQ Flickr Images. Emotional Cities of Search also allows users to include search terms data sets from other states as well. This gives the user the chance to dynamically compare and remix various datasets.

Tim Koch – Heard history by tiimko

Heard history used historic South Australian photographs to create the original soundscape which combines melodic and rhythmic elements.

This photo mashup entry – Seaside mishmashed – comes from Tasmania, and is beautifully evocative of the seaside.

My concept was to select early poster art and text to create a comic strip with Australian and Tasmanian themes in a modern context, to celebrate the Library Mashup event. The result is a collage from over thirty different Theatre Royal posters in the JWB Murphy collection which is held in the Tasmanian Archives and Heritage Office.

The JWB MURPHY COLLECTION

JWB Murphy (1865?-1958?), a New Zealand-born singer, trombone player and stage band conductor, came to Hobart from Melbourne in about 1896 to work for the Mercury. He was soon appointed manager of the Theatre Royal (Australia’s Oldest Theatre) – a position he held for more than forty-five years.

In the early 1980s Murphy’s descendant Bradley Smith rediscovered his great-grandfather’s collection of 364 theatre and cinema posters and 385 theatre programs and presented it to the State Library of Tasmania (now the Tasmanian Archive and Heritage Office). It is one of the richest collections of theatrical posters, especially for early film presentations, held anywhere in Australia.

Most of the posters are for events at the Theatre Royal (though they were printed in Hobart, Melbourne, Sydney, New Zealand and elsewhere). But some relate to other venues in Hobart and elsewhere in Tasmania and to local events.
