150The Librarian Interface starts with the Gather view. To return to this view later, click the "Gather" tab directly below the menu bar.
151</p>
152<p style="text-align:justify">
153The two large areas titled "Workspace" and "Collection" are used to move files into your collection. They contain "file trees", graphical structures that represent files and folders.
154</p>
155<p style="text-align:justify">
156Select an item in the tree by clicking it. (There are other ways; see below.) Double-click a folder, or the switch symbol beside it, to expand (or collapse) its contents. Double-click a file to open it using its associated application program (see Section 10.2 -- File Associations).
157</p>
158<p style="text-align:justify">
159The Workspace file tree shows the sources of data available to the Librarian Interface -- the local file system (including disk and CD-ROM drives), the contents of existing Greenstone collections, and the public and private download caches if Web mirroring is enabled. You can copy and view these files but you cannot move, delete, or edit them. Navigate this space to find the files you want to include in the collection.
160</p>
161<p style="text-align:justify">
162The Collection file tree represents the contents of the collection so far. Initially, it is empty.
163</p>
164<p style="text-align:justify">
165You can resize the spaces by mousing over the grey bar that separates the trees (the shape of the pointer changes) and dragging.
166</p>
167<p style="text-align:justify">
168Beneath is the Status Area, which describes the state of the Librarian Interface: how many items are selected and what action is requested. It reports on the progress of actions that involve files, which can take some time to complete.
169</p>
170<p style="text-align:justify">
171Three large buttons occupy the lower right corner of the screen. "Cancel" stops any file movement tasks that are occurring. "New Folder", with a picture of a folder, creates new folders (see Section 5.2 -- Creating folders). "Delete", with a garbage can, removes files.
