Session Abstract

State Library of Queensland has been providing access to library collections through Primo since 2008. As part of our Open Data Strategy, we make a variety of datasets freely available including text strings searched in the State Library’s online catalogue. By supporting developers and creatives to use our digital collections and collections data in highly creative and experimental ways we can interact more meaningfully, because what we search for reveals something about ourselves: about what we don’t know, what we have forgotten, or what we want to know more about. In a similar vein, what a group of people search for reveals something about the group. The Digital Collections Catalyst 2021 transformed more than ten years catalogue data and created an interactive landscape based on the language, themes, subjects, and terms involved. The result is a dynamic and interactive tool that helps us to understand what, when and how our users are searching the catalogue.
