A computer-implemented method of identifying content for a collection, comprising:
- displaying a user interface to receive a natural language user input indicative of a subject of the collection;
- automatically accessing user profile information corresponding to a user;
- causing an automated stack generator to use a search engine to identify items of content from a plurality of remote sources of digital media based on the natural language search user input, the user information and a defined time period within which the collection is to be created;

A content collection system, comprising:
- an automated stack generator configured to display a user interface to receive a search user input indicative of a subject of a collection of content and a timing input within which generation of the collection of content must be completed, access user information corresponding to a user, automatically identify items of content from a plurality of remote resources based on the search user input, the timing input, and the user information, and add the identified items of content to a collection, having a given format, for review within a time limit defined by the timing input;
- and
- a display generator that generates a display that displays the collection in the given lot mat.
