The Librarian Interface follows Microsoft Windows conventions and draws upon
ordinary knowledge of Windows.
<Break/>
Any part of the screen that you interact with, such as a button or text field,
is called a "control".  At any given time one control, called the "focus", is
highlighted and responds to the keyboard.  Several controls allow you to select
parts that are highlighted in dark blue.  Some controls are greyed out to
indicate that they are disabled.
<Break/>
You can move and left- or right-click the mouse in the usual way.  Many
components also allow you to "drag" them, by clicking and holding the left
mouse button, move them with the mouse, and "drop" them elsewhere by releasing
the button.  Potential drop targets alter their appearance when a component
hovers over them.
<Break/>
You can use the keyboard to type into text fields.  Keyboard alternatives are
available for many controls, indicated by a key name in square brackets -- for
example, [Tab] alters the focus.  The plus sign shows if other keys must be
pressed at the same time.
<Break/>
Exit the Librarian Interface program by choosing "Exit" from the "File"
menu.  Your collection will be saved first.
       <Anchor name="advanced">Advanced Instructions:</Anchor>
To access a menu, hold down [ALT] and press the corresponding letter
(underlined).  For example, for the "File" menu press [ALT] + [F].  To choose an
item, press the corresponding key.  For example, while in the File menu
press [S] to "Save" a collection.

To create a new collection, open the "File" menu and choose "New".  Several
fields need to be filled out -- but you can change their values later if you
need to, in the design view.
<Break/>
"Collection title" is the text displayed at the top of your collection's home page.  It can
be any length.
<Break/>
"Description of content"
should describe, in as much detail as possible, what the collection is about.
Use the [Enter] key to break it into paragraphs.
<Break/>
Finally you must specify whether the new collection will have the same
appearance and metadata sets as an existing collection, or whether to start a
default "New Collection".
<Break/>
Click "OK" to create the collection.  If you chose "New Collection" you are
prompted for the metadata sets to use in it.  You can choose more than one, and
you can add others later.

To open an existing collection, choose "Open" from the "File" menu to get the
Open Collection prompt.  A list of your Greenstone collections appears.
Select one to see its description, and click "Open" to load it.  If you seek a
collection that resides outside Greenstone's "collect" folder, click "Browse"
for a file system browsing dialog.
      <Anchor name="advanced">Advanced Instructions:</Anchor>
In case more than one Greenstone Librarian Interface program is running
concurrently, the relevant directories are "locked" to prevent interference.
On opening a collection, a small temporary lock file is created in its
folder.  Before opening a collection, the Librarian Interface checks to ensure
that no lock file already exists.  You can tell whether a collection is locked
by the colour of its icon: green for a normal collection, red for a locked
one.  However, when the Librarian Interface is exited prematurely the lock file
is sometimes left in place.  When you open such a collection, the Librarian asks
if you want to "steal" control of it.  Never steal a collection that someone
else is currently working on.
<Break/>
When you open a collection that the Greenstone Librarian Interface did 
not create, you will be asked to select a metadata set (or sets).  If 
none are selected, any existing metadata will be ignored. Otherwise, 
metadata will be imported just as it is when you drag in files with 
existing metadata. The process is described in the <Reference target="importingpreviouslyassignedmetadata">Importing Previously Assigned Metadata</Reference> section.

Access the "Mirror" view by clicking its tab. The top half of the screen shows the downloading controls. The bottom half is initially empty, but will show a list of pending and completed downloading jobs. 
<Break/>
Files are downloaded into a folder in the workspace called "Downloaded Files" (only present when mirroring is enabled), and can be used in all collections built with the Librarian Interface.  Files in this area are named by their full web URL. A new folder is created for each host, followed by others for each part of the path. This ensures that each file is distinct.
<Break/>
Use the first of the download configuration controls, "Source URL", to enter the URL of a target resource. Use the "Download Depth" control to limit how many  hyperlinks to follow when downloading: Set this to 0 to download a single web page; set it to 1 to download a page and all the pages it points to. The depth limit is ignored when downloading media other than html pages. Next, there are several checkbox controls which can be set to turn on the specified feature for a specific download. Once the configuration is set up, click "Download" to start the new download job. There are two other button controls: "Preferences", which links to the connection section of the Preferences where proxy settings can be edited; and "Clear Cache", which deletes all previously downloaded files.
<Break/>
The download list has an entry for each web page download.  Each entry has a text region that gives details of the task along with a progress bar showing current activity. Three buttons appear to the left of each entry. "Pause" is used for pausing a currently downloading task. "View Log" opens a window showing the download log file. "Close" terminates the download and removes the task from the list.  
      <Anchor name="advanced">Advanced Instructions:</Anchor>
The <Reference target="preferences">Preferences section</Reference> describes how to establish an Internet connection via a proxy.  If authentication is needed, the proxy server prompts for identification and password.  The Librarian Interface does not store passwords between sessions.

The Librarian Interface starts with the Gather view.  To return to this view
later, click the "Gather" tab directly below the menu bar.
<Break/>
The 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.
<Break/>
Select an item in the tree by clicking it.  (There are other ways; see below.)
Double-click a folder, or single-click the switch symbol beside it, to expand (or collapse)
its contents.  Double-click a file to open it using its associated application
program (see <Reference target="fileassociations">File Associations</Reference>).
<Break/>
The 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 cache of downloaded files if Web mirroring is enabled. You can copy and view these files but you cannot move, delete, or edit them, with the exception of the downloaded files, which can be deleted.  Navigate this space to find the files you want to include in the collection.
<Break/>
The Collection file tree represents the contents of the collection so
far.  Initially, it is empty.
<Break/>
You can resize the spaces by mousing over the grey bar that separates the trees
(the shape of the pointer changes) and dragging.
<Break/>
{4.1.status} The "Stop" button stops any action that is currently in progress. 
<Break/>
Two large buttons occupy the lower right corner of the screen. "New Folder", with a picture
of a folder, creates new folders (see <Reference target="creatingfolders">Creating folders</Reference>). 
"Delete", with a garbage can, removes files. Clicking the Delete button will remove any selected files from the Collection file tree. Alternatively, files can be deleted by dragging them onto the Delete button. 
       <Anchor name="advanced">Advanced Instructions:</Anchor>
To select several sequential items, select the first and then hold down [Shift]
and click on the last -- the selection will encompass all intervening
items.  Select non-sequential files by holding down [Ctrl] while clicking.  Use
these two methods together to select groups of non-adjacent items.
<Break/>
Certain folders -- such as the one containing your own web pages -- sometimes
have special significance.  The Librarian Interface can map such folders to 
the first level of the file tree.  To do this, right-click the desired
folder.  Select "Create Shortcut", and enter a name for the folder.  To remove an item,
right-click the mapped folder and select "Remove Shortcut".

To create a new folder, optionally select an existing folder in the Collection
Tree and click the New Folder button.  The new folder appears within the
selected one, or at the top level if none is selected.  You are prompted for the

Files can be copied into the collection by dragging and dropping.  The mouse
pointer becomes a ghost of the selected item (or, if more than one is selected,
the number of them).  Drop the selection into the Collection Tree to copy the
files there (if the source was the Workspace Tree) or move them around within
the collection (if the source was the Collection Tree).
<Break/>
When copying multiple files, they are all placed in the target folder at the
same level, irrespective of the folder structure they occupied originally.
When you copy a second file with the same name into the same folder, you are
asked whether to overwrite the first one.  Respond "No" and the file will not be
copied, but the others will be.  To cancel all remaining copy actions, click the
"stop" button.
<Break/>
Only the "highest" items in a selection are moved.  A folder is higher than its
children.  You cannot select files within a folder and also the folder itself.
      <Anchor name="advanced">Advanced Instructions:</Anchor>
When you add a file, the Librarian Interface searches through the source
folders for auxiliary files containing metadata previously assigned to the
added file and, if it finds one, begins to import this metadata.  As the
operation proceeds, you may be prompted (perhaps several times) for extra
information to match the imported metadata to the metadata sets in your
collection.  This process involves many different prompts, described in the <Reference target="importingpreviouslyassignedmetadata">Importing Previously Assigned Metadata</Reference> section.  For a more detailed
explanation of associating metadata with files read Chapter 2 of the Greenstone
Developer's Guide -- Getting the most out of your documents.

      <Anchor name="simple">Simple Instructions:</Anchor>
Use the Enrich view to assign metadata to the documents in the collection.
Metadata is data about data -- typically title, author, creation date, and so
on.  Each metadata item has two parts: "element" tells what kind of item it is
(such as author), and "value" gives the value of that metadata element (such as
the author's name).
<Break/>
On the left of the "Enrich" view is the Collection Tree. To the right is the Metadata Table, which shows metadata for any selected files or folders in the Collection Tree.  Columns are named in
grey at the top, and can be resized by dragging the separating line. {5.1.controls.1}
If several files are selected, black text indicates that the value is common to all of the
selected files, while grey text indicates that it is not.  Black values may be
updated or removed, while grey ones can be removed from those that have it, or
appended to the others.
<Break/>
A folder icon may appear beside some metadata entries.  This indicates that the
values are inherited from a parent (or ancestor) folder.  Inherited metadata
cannot be edited or removed, only appended to or overwritten.  Click on the
folder icon to go immediately to the folder where the metadata is assigned.
<Break/>
{5.1.controls.2} Use them to update, append,
and remove the metadata value.  The value field is for entering or editing the
metadata value.  Beside it is a button labelled "..." which, when clicked,
opens a larger editing box.  In the buttons below, "Append" assigns the value as
new metadata and adds it to any existing values for the selected element,
"Replace" overwrites the selected existing value with the new one, and "Remove" clears
the selected value.  Underneath, labelled "All Previous Values", is the "Value
Tree".
<Break/>
The Value Tree expands and collapses.  Usually it is a list that shows all
values entered previously for the selected element.  Clicking an entry
automatically places it into the value field.  Conversely, typing in the text
field selects the Value Tree entry that starts with the characters you have
typed.  Pressing [Tab] auto-completes the typing with the selected value.
<Break/>
Metadata values can be organised into a hierarchy. This is shown in the Value Tree using folders for internal levels. Hierarchical values can be entered using the character "|" to separate the levels.  For
example, "Cards|Red|Diamonds|Seven" might be used in a hierarchy that represents a pack of playing cards. This enables values to be grouped together. Groups can also be assigned as metadata to files.

Greenstone extracts metadata automatically from documents into a metadata set
whose elements are prefixed by "ex.".  This has no value tree and cannot be
edited, so the edit controls are hidden if such an entry is selected.  The
"..." button still serves to expand the value, but the text cannot be edited.

Sets of predefined metadata elements are known as "metadata sets".  An example
is the Dublin Core metadata set.  When you add a metadata set to your
collection, its elements become available for selection.  You can have more than
one set; to prevent name clashes a short identifier that identifies the
metadata set is pre-pended to the element name.  For instance the Dublin Core
element Creator becomes "dc.Creator".  Metadata sets are stored in the
Librarian Interface's metadata folder and have the suffix ".mds".

We now add a metadata item -- both element and value -- to a file.  First select
the file from the Collection file tree on the left.  The action causes any
metadata previously assigned to this file to appear in the table at the right.
<Break/>
Next select the metadata element you want to add by clicking its row in the
table.
<Break/>
Type the value into the value field.  Do not use the character "|", as it is
used for constructing hierarchies.  When finished, click "Append" to add the new
value as metadata for the chosen file.  The value immediately appears in the
Metadata table.
<Break/>
You can also add metadata to a folder, or to several multiply selected files at
once.  It is added to all files within the folder or selection, and to child
folders.  Keep in mind that if you assign metadata to a folder, any new files in
it automatically inherit the folder's values.

<Break/>
{5.7.activate} A window called
"All Metadata", dominated by a large table with many columns, appears.  The
first column shows file names; the rows show all metadata values assigned to
those files.

You can also view the "All Metadata" table by selecting the files you wish to
examine, right-clicking, and choosing "Assigned Metadata...".  If a folder has
been selected, all its child files are included in the table.
<Break/>
When it gets too large, you can filter the "All Metadata" table by applying
filters to the columns.  As new filters are added, only those rows that match
them remain visible.  To set, modify or clear a filter, click on the "funnel"
icon at the top of a column.  You are prompted for information about the filter.
Once a filter is set, the column header changes colour.
<Break/>
The prompt has a "Simple" and an "Advanced" tab.  The Simple version filters
columns so that they only show rows that contain a certain metadata value ("*"
matches all values).  You can select metadata values from the pull-down list.
The Advanced version allows different matching operations: must start with,
does not contain, alphabetically less than and is equal to.  The value to be
matched can be edited to be any string (including "*"), and you can choose
whether the matching should be case insensitive.  Finally, you can specify a
second matching condition that you can use to specify a range of values (by
selecting AND) or alternative values (by selecting OR).  Below this area is a
box that allows you to change the sort order (ascending or descending).  Once
you have finished, click "Set Filter" to apply the new filter to the column.
Click "Clear Filter" to remove a current filter.  Note that the filter details
are retained even when the filter is cleared.

For example, to sort the "All Metadata" table, choose a column, select the
default filter setting (a Simple filter on "*"), and choose ascending or

If metadata in a form recognized by the Librarian Interface has been previously
assigned to a file -- for example, when you choose documents from an existing
Greenstone collection -- it is imported automatically when you add the file.
To do this, the metadata must be mapped to the metadata sets available in the
collection.
<Break/>
The Librarian Interface prompts for the necessary information.  The prompt
gives brief instructions and then shows the name of the metadata element that
is being imported, just as it appears in the source file.  This field cannot be
edited or changed.  Next you choose what metadata set the new element should map
to, and then the appropriate metadata element in that set.  The system
automatically selects the closest match, in terms of set and element, for the
new metadata.
<Break/>
Having checked the mapping, you can choose "Add" to add the new metadata
element to the chosen metadata set.  (This is only enabled if there is no
element of the same name within the chosen set.) "Replace" maps the new element
to the one chosen by the user.  Finally, "Ignore" does not import any metadata
with this element name.  Once you have specified how to import a certain piece of metadata, the mapping
information is retained for the collection's lifetime.

Developer's Guide -- Getting the most out of your documents.

Format commands control the structure and appearance of the collection.  They
affect such things as where buttons appear when a document is shown, and what
links are displayed by the DateList classifier.  Format commands are not easy
to develop, and you should read Chapter 2 of the Greenstone Developer's Guide.

You can apply a format command to anything in the "Choose Feature" pull-down
list, which includes each classifier and a predefined list of features.  When
you select a feature, there are two types of control.  Some features are simply
enabled or disabled, and this is controlled by a checkbox.  Others require a
format string to be specified.  For these there is a pull-down list ("Affected 
Component") for selecting which part of the feature the string applies to 
(if necessary), a text area ("HTML Format String") for entering the string, 
and a selection of predefined "Variables".  To insert a variable into the 
current position in the format string, select it from the pull-down list and 
click "Insert".
<Break/>
You can specify a default format for a particular component by selecting the
blank feature.  This format is then applied to all applicable features unless
otherwise specified.
<Break/>
To add a new format command, fill out the information as explained above and
click "Add Format".  The new format command appears in the list of "Currently
Assigned Format Commands".  Only one format command can be assigned to each
feature/component combination.
<Break/>
To remove a format command, select it from the list and click "Remove Format".
<Break/>
To change a format command, select it from the list, modify the settings, and

If "View Extracted Metadata" is checked, the
various controls dealing with metadata always show all metadata that has been
extracted automatically from documents.  Deselecting it hides this metadata
(although it is still available during collection design, and within the

The "Mode" panel is used to control the level of detail within the interface. At its lowest setting, "Library Assistant", the design view is disabled, arguments requiring regular expressions are hidden and the collection building produces a minimal log of events. In contrast the highest setting, "Expert", provides access to all of the features of design, including plugin positioning and regular expression arguments, and also allows the full output from the collection building to be recorded in the logs.

      <Anchor name="simple">Simple Instructions:</Anchor>
Greenstone can export one or more collections to a self-installing 
CD-ROM for Windows. To do so, Greenstone's "Export to CD-ROM" package 
must be installed. This is not included by default, so you may need to 
modify your installation to include it.
<Break/>
To export a collection, open the "File" menu and choose "Export to 
CD-ROM". A list of Greenstone collections appears; click on any one to 
see its description. Tick the check boxes of the collections to export. 
You can enter the CD-ROM's name in the box: this is what will appear in 
the Start menu when the CD-ROM has been installed. Then click "Export". 
The process involves copying many files and may take a few minutes.
<Break/>
Upon completion, Greenstone will show the name of a folder containing 
the exported collections. Use a CD writer to copy its contents to a 
blank CD-ROM.
