| 28 | <h2>Greenstone Digital Library Software</h2>
|
---|
| 29 |
|
---|
| 30 | <p>
|
---|
| 31 | The Greenstone Digital Library software provides a new way of
|
---|
| 32 | organizing information and making it available over the Internet or on
|
---|
| 33 | CD-ROM.
|
---|
| 34 | <p>
|
---|
| 35 | A digital library is made up of a set of collections.
|
---|
| 36 | Each collection of information comprises several
|
---|
| 37 | (typically several thousand, or even several million) documents,
|
---|
| 38 | which share a uniform searching and browsing interface.
|
---|
| 39 | Collections can be organized in many different ways while
|
---|
| 40 | retaining a strong family resemblance.
|
---|
| 41 | Numerous examples are hosted at the New Zealand Digital Library Project
|
---|
[1142] | 42 | web site (<a href="http://www.nzdl.org">http://www.nzdl.org</a>).
|
---|
[1094] | 43 | <p>
|
---|
| 44 | Although primarily designed for access over the Web,
|
---|
| 45 | Greenstone collections can be made available,
|
---|
| 46 | in precisely the same form, on CD-ROM for standalone PCs.
|
---|
| 47 | Greenstone CDs work with any version of Microsoft Windows.
|
---|
| 48 | <p>
|
---|
| 49 | Greenstone is open-source software,
|
---|
| 50 | available under the terms of the GNU General Public License.
|
---|
| 51 | The latest version can always be
|
---|
[1142] | 52 | <a href="http://www.nzdl.org/html/DOWNLOAD.html">downloaded</a>

[1094] | 53 | from

|

[1275] | 95 | Greenstone Digital Library Software is produced by the New Zealand Digital
|

|
---|
| 97 | Rodger McNab, Stefan Boddie, Bill Rogers, Hong Chen and Stuart Inglis, and
|
---|
| 98 | has benefited greatly from previous versions constructed by Craig
|
---|
| 99 | Nevill-Manning and Todd Reed and previous interface designs by Che
|
---|
| 100 | Tamahere.
