50Greenstone is a suite of software for building and distributing digital
51library collections. It provides a new way of organizing information and
52publishing it on the Internet or on CD-ROM. Greenstone is produced by the
53<b>New Zealand Digital Library Project</b> at the <b>University of
54Waikato</b>, and developed and distributed in cooperation with
55<b>UNESCO</b> and the <b>Human Info NGO</b>. It is <b>open-source,
56multilingual</b> software, issued under the terms of the GNU General Public
57License. Read the <a href="_httppagex_(factsheet)">Greenstone Fact Sheet</a> for more information.

96<i>(Oct 26)</i> Building collections on a remote Greenstone server<br />
97This scheme allows users to augment and edit collections that are held on a remote Greenstone server. Users work with a modified version of the Greenstone Librarian Interface but do not need to have Greenstone running locally. Multiple users can collaborate on the same collection (though not at the same time). <a href="http://www.cs.waikato.ac.nz/~mdewsnip/greenstone/west-yorkshire/remote-greenstone.html">Here</a> are details of an experimental version that you can download (<a href="http://tramullas.com/greenstone/gsdlremoto.pdf">En Español</a>).

This is our research version and is still incomplete; the production version (Greenstone 2) is recommended for almost all users (and is still being developed and improved). Greenstone 3 will serve existing collections without any change whatsoever, so there is no danger of becoming out-moded by continuing with Greenstone 2. <a href="http://www.greenstone.org/greenstone3.html">Greenstone 3 home page</a>.

115The Greenstone Librarian Interface (GLI),
116an easy-to-use frontend to Greenstone's collection-building
117functionality, has been extensively user tested and debugged.
118If you haven't already tried it, now is a great
119time to do so (and if you ran into problems before, please try this new version).
120Greenstone 2.50 also includes the new (and already very popular) PagedImgPlug plugin for
121processing sequences of page images, a new classifier that displays a
122collage of the images in a collection, provision for incremental updates
123of Greenstone in the future, and many other bug fixes and improvements.

126_t5_ {
127One of the trickier parts of using Greenstone is coming up with a
128configuration file for your collection. To help learn how to do it,
129several fully-documented example collections have been placed at <a

143The aim of the Greenstone software is to empower users, particularly in universities,
144libraries, and other public service institutions, to build their own
145digital libraries. Digital libraries are radically reforming how
146information is disseminated and acquired in UNESCO's partner communities
147and institutions in the fields of education, science and culture around the
148world, and particularly in developing countries. We hope that this
149software will encourage the effective deployment of digital libraries to
150share information and place it in the public domain. Further information
151can be found in the book <a href="http://www.nzdl.org/howto">How to build a
152digital library</a>, authored by two of the group's project members.
