18 MAKING GREENSTONE COLLECTIONS 3.1 The librarian’s interface Getting started To harness the full power of Greenstone to build advanced collections, you will also need to read Chapter 2 of the Developer’s Guide. To convey the operation of Greenstone’s librarian interface, we work through a simple example. Figures 4 to 15 are screen snapshots at various points during the interaction. This example uses documents in the Development Library Subset (DLS) collection, which is distributed with Greenstone. For expository purposes, the walkthrough takes the form of a single pass through the steps listed above. A more realistic pattern of use, however, is for users to switch back and forth through the various stages as the task proceeds. The librarian interface can be run in one of four modes: Librarian Assistant, Librarian, Library Systems Specialist, and Expert. Modes control the level of detail within the interface, and can be changed through ‘Preferences’ in the ‘File’ menu. The walkthrough in this section assumes that the librarian interface is operating in the default mode, Librarian. Launch the librarian interface under Windows by selecting Greenstone Digital Library from the Programs section of the Start menu and choosing Librarian Interface. If you are using Unix, instead type cd ~/gsdl cd gli ./gli.sh where ~/gsdl is the directory containing your Greenstone system. To begin, you must either open an existing collection or start a new one. Figure 4 shows the user in the process of starting a new collection. She has selected New from the file menu and begun to fill out general information about the collection—its title, the E-mail address of the person responsible for it, and a brief description of the content—in the popup window. The collection title is a short phrase used throughout the digital library to identify the collection’s content: existing collections have names like Food and Nutrition Library, World Environmental Library, and so on. When you type the title, the system assigns a unique mnemonic identifier, the collection “name”, for internal use (you can change it if you like). The E-mail address specifies the first point of contact for any problems encountered with the collection. The brief description is a statement describing the principles that govern what is included in the collection. It appears under the heading About this collection on the collection’s initial page.
