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