Community-created Content 

This project encourages community members to contribute to the collections of their national, State and Territory libraries by creating films, writing, stories, pictures and other web content using their resources and ours.

Common approaches and tools available across libraries will allow community members to tag library material and share it with family and friends, or to create mash-ups of online content. Examples can be seen in the 2011 Libraryhack competition.
