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.</p> 14 <p>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.</p> 15 <p>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 <a href="importingpreviouslyassignedmetadata.htm">Importing Previously Assigned Metadata</a> section. </p> 15 16 <p>In case more than one Greenstone Librarian Interface program is running concurrently, the relevant directories are "locked" to prevent interference.
