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,

90<i>(Oct 2005)</i> Building collections on a remote Greenstone server<br />
91This 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://prdownload.berlios.de/gsdl-esdoc/gsdlremoto.pdf">En Español</a>).

95Greenstone 3 is a complete redesign of Greenstone, with version 3.01 released on <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/greenstone3">sourceforge</a> in November 2005. 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>.

108The Greenstone Librarian Interface (GLI),
109an easy-to-use frontend to Greenstone's collection-building
110functionality, has been extensively user tested and debugged.
111If you haven't already tried it, now is a great
112time to do so (and if you ran into problems before, please try this new version).
113Greenstone 2.50 also includes the new (and already very popular) PagedImgPlug plugin for
114processing sequences of page images, a new classifier that displays a
115collage of the images in a collection, provision for incremental updates
116of Greenstone in the future, and many other bug fixes and improvements.
117}
118
119_t5_ {
120One of the trickier parts of using Greenstone is coming up with a
121configuration file for your collection. To help learn how to do it,
122several fully-documented example collections have been placed at <a
123href="http://nzdl.org">nzdl.org</a> which explain, on the collection home page, just how they have been put together.
124}
125
126_t6_ {
127The complete Greenstone interface, and all documentation, is available in
128<b>English</b>, <b>French</b>, <b>Spanish</b>, <b>Russian</b> and
129<b>Kazakh</b>. Greenstone also has interfaces in many <a
130href="_httpwikiintn_">other languages</a>. We are looking for <a

136The aim of the Greenstone software is to empower users, particularly in universities,
137libraries, and other public service institutions, to build their own
138digital libraries. Digital libraries are radically reforming how
139information is disseminated and acquired in UNESCO's partner communities
140and institutions in the fields of education, science and culture around the
141world, and particularly in developing countries. We hope that this
142software will encourage the effective deployment of digital libraries to
143share information and place it in the public domain. Further information
144can be found in the book <a href="http://www.nzdl.org/howto">How to build a
145digital library</a>, authored by two of the group's members.

829Alternatively, if your department/organization is willing to organise and fund a Greenstone workshop in your area, we might be able to run it (depending on what other commitments we have). We would require our air travel and basic accomodation to be paid for, and if you're feeling generous, a donation towards our research costs would be appreciated.
