GSDL Training

Digital collections can come in many shapes and forms. Some are used to keep an archive of publications produced by your institutions, some are provided as a way to keep a history of the community, and some provide files on a specific topic. Whatever your digital collection might be used for or made up of, there is an open source application that will help index and provide the necessary data. Greenstone (http://www.greenstone.org) is a digital library application that allows for the distribution of data via the internet and/or digital media such a CD ROM or DVD. This flexibility has made it extremely popular worldwide. Using the Greenstone Librarian Interface you can easily browse for files on your local machine, network or the web and import them into your collection. Greenstone allows for many collections, each of which can be made up of documents, images, videos, audio files and more. Greenstone has also been developed with worldwide accessibility in mind. The international Unicode character set is used throughout, so the documents in any language and character encoding can be imported (in fact, Greenstone can automatically detect the language and encoding of most documents). The New Zealand Digital Library website (http:/nzdl.org) hosts many of these, and the Greenstone website links to sites that contain further example.
