Unstacked

Composite images of coloured tiles and images representing catalogue search results

Unstacked displays the materials that people are currently accessing from the State Library Victoria's collection. A new tile appears whenever someone accesses an item from the catalogue.

Created in real-time by the people who are using our resources, this responsive, high-impact visual display captures the diversity and richness of our collection.

The tiles appearing on Unstacked use Dewey Decimal Classification colour coding to represent the following topics:

Orange: Computer science, information & general works
Lime: Philosophy & psychology
Green: Religion
Blue: Social sciences
Teal: Language
Purple: Science
Mauve: Technology
Pink: Arts & recreation
Red: Literature
Coral: History & geography
Grey: Published, but no image available
Black: not published, no image available

See Unstacked in action in the Russell Street Welcome Zone.
