 if you want to "steal" control of it.  Never steal a collection that someone
 else is currently working on.

+Collections built by the Greenstone Librarian Interface program are slightly different to those built outside this program. When you open a collection in the Librarian Interface that was not created by it, there will be a few extra steps to go through. First, you will be asked to select a metadata set to use for your collection. You can choose more than one, and you can add others later. If you don't select any, any existing metadata for the collection will be ignored. If one or more sets are selected, any existing metadata will be imported into the collection. As the operation proceeds, you may be prompted (perhaps several times) for extra
+information to match the imported metadata to the metadata sets in your
+collection.  This process involves many different prompts, described in the <Reference target="importingpreviouslyassignedmetadata">Importing Previously Assigned Metadata</Reference> section.

+      Greenstone can export one or more collections to a Windows self-installing CD-ROM. To use this feature you need to have installed the 'Export to CD-ROM' package that comes with Greenstone. This is not included by default, so you may need to 'modify' your Greenstone installation to include this.

+      To export a collection, open the "File" menu and choose "Export to CD-ROM". A list of your Greenstone collections appears. Click on a collection to see its description. Tick the check boxes of those collections you want exported. You can enter the name of the CD-ROM in the box: this is what will appear in the Start menu when the resulting CD has been installed. Then click "Export" to start the process. The exporting process involves copying many files and may take a few minutes.
+      <Break/>
+      At the completion of exporting, you will be told the name of the folder where the collections have been exported to. To make a CD-ROM, you need to copy the contents of this folder onto a blank CD-ROM using a CD writer.
