The making of Aereo

Watch DX Lab Fellow, Mauricio Giraldo, presenting on Aereo - an experimental bird’s eye view of the digital collections from the State Library of NSW.

Aereo is an attempt at looking at library digital collections as a whole, rather than a list of discrete items or files in response to a keyword search. By displaying everything1 in a single interface there is hopefully more opportunity for a broad-based and serendipitous exploration of the collection.

Aereo is a Spanish word meaning Aerial.
