Behind the 43 query interface lies a huge collection providing gigabytes of information. 44 We hope you find what you want, or at least something intriguing! 45 46 <h4>The Greenstone software</h4> 47 48 <p> The Greenstone Digital Library software provides a new way of 49 organizing information and making it available over the Internet. A 50 <i>collection</i> of information comprises several (typically several 51 thousand, or even several million) <i>documents</i>, which share a uniform 52 searching and browsing interface. The collections in a library are 53 organized in a different way--though they share a strong family 54 resemblance. Although primarily designed for access over the Web, 55 Greenstone collections can be made available, in precisely the same form, 56 on CD-ROM for standalone PCs. Greenstone is open-source software, 57 available under the terms of the Gnu public license. 58 <p>The following websites are among those currently using Greenstone. <i>Note that these 59 sites are under development.</i> 60 <ul> 61 <li><a href="http://moby.cisti.nrc.ca/~nzdl/cgi-bin/library">CISTI</a> 62 <li><a href="http://gene.rutgers.edu/cgi-bin/library">Rutgers University</a> 63 <li><a href="http://csdl1.mdx.ac.uk/">Middlesex University</a> 64 <li><a href="http://laraine.unidata.ucar.edu/projects/coohl/htdig/cgi-bin/library">Unidata</a> 65 </ul> 66 <h4>The research</h4> 67 68 <p> The goal of our research program is to explore the potential of 69 internet-based digital libraries. Our vision is to develop systems that 70 automatically impose structure on anarchic, uncatalogued, distributed 71 repositories of information, thereby providing information consumers with 72 effective tools to locate what they need and to peruse it conveniently and 73 comfortably. Our research objectives are to 74 75 <ul> 76 <li> develop technology for creating and automatically 77 maintaining collections; 78 <li> monitor usage to study library users' needs; 79 <li> look at novel interfaces that cater to a wide spectrum of users; 80 <li> find ways to abstract layout and bibliographic information 81 from document files; 82 <li> use this information to enhance presentation and for 83 bibliometric research; 84 <li> assess potential subject areas for public-domain collections; 85 <li> survey and critique other digital library projects. 86 </ul> 31 <p> 32 The Greenstone Digital Library software provides a new way of 33 organizing information and making it available over the Internet or on 34 CD-ROM.
