	An analysis of the Greenstone Digital Library Software
		Greenstone creates all searching and browsing structures automatically from the documents themselves so that nothing has to be done manually.
		One of the features that the Greenstone software provides is the ability to create your own digital library from the source files that you have.
		The Greenstone software is a great piece of software that can create digital libraries very quickly.

	Customizing digital library interfaces with Greenstone (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		The way the digital library functionality is hooked into the user interface is through "dynamic macros" whose expansions are determined by the system (in terms of other macros).
		Greenstone operates in two phases: collection building, which is performed offline and creates the data structures necessary to support searching and browsing, and the online business of serving the collection to users.
		Digital libraries have the advantage over other interactive systems that their user interfaces are universally based on metadata.

	Digital Library Tools
		Greenstone Digital Library Software, developed by the New Zealand Digital Library Project, is used to provide access to the Chopin Early Editions collection.
		The Library maintains its own OAI-PMH provider, developed in-house, as part of the CIC-OAI project, through which records for items in many of the collections on these pages are exposed for harvesting by those who wish to aggregate such records to build discovery services for digital collections.
		The Library uses data exported from the SFX server in conjunction with Nand to produce a searchable list of Electronic Journals.

	Greenstone Digital Library Software
		These Greenstone tutorial exercises will teach you about many aspects of Greenstone, from installation to format statements; from writing a collection to CD-ROM to serving it on OAI, exporting it as METS, or converting it to and from DSpace; from harvesting Web documents to harvesting metadata over OAI.
		Further information can be found in the book How to build a digital library, authored by two of the group's project members.
		Greenstone 3 will serve existing collections without any change whatsoever, so there is no danger of becoming out-moded by continuing with Greenstone 2.

	[LIS-Forum] NCSI Workshop on Greenstone Digital Library Software
		Though it is possible today to create simple digital libraries using prevailing Web and database technologies, it would take lot more effort to develop software that integrates functions such as metadata, full text search and retrieval, multilingual support, access management, and support for multiple document formats.
		Greenstone is produced by the New Zealand Digital Library Project (http://www.nzdl.org/) at the University of Waikato, and developed and distributed in cooperation with UNESCO and the Human Info NGO (http://humaninfo.org/).
		More details of the software and example digital libraries built using the software is available at http://www.greenstone.org/ The goal of this Workshop is to enable individuals and organisations to initiate building their digital libraries.

	Greenstone: Open-Source Digital Library Software
		Greenstone incorporates an interface that makes it easy for people to create their own library collections.
		A flexible process structure allows different collections to be served by different computers and yet presented to the user as part of the same digital library -- and even, seamlessly, as part of the same collection [22].
		Greenstone is available from the New Zealand Digital Library (http://www.nzdl.org) under the terms of the Gnu General Public License.

	Examples of Practical Digital Libraries: Collections Built Internationally Using Greenstone
		Produced by the New Zealand Digital Library project [2], Greenstone is intended to lower the bar for construction of practical digital libraries, yet at the same time leave a great deal of flexibility in the hands of the user.
		A more committed user who studies the options that Greenstone offers can personalize the digital library system and create new kinds of collection that take advantage of available metadata to provide different kinds of browsing facilities, which are akin to different perspectives on the collection.
		However, Greenstone does have a "form search" option that provides the facilities normally available with conventional bibliographic metadata search: a "simple" version that implements an AND operation between one or more fields, and an "advanced" version that provides general Boolean combination (and also allows stemming and case-folding to be controlled individually for each field).
