[sagreenstone] turning LP library into digital form of library

[Amos Kujenga]

Dear Leonia,

For you to use Greenstone effectively it is important to go through
some form of training. One way to do this is via the tutorial
exercises on the Greenstone site
(http://wiki.greenstone.org/wiki/index.php/Tutorial_exercises). Some
other documentation is also available from the Greenstone wiki
(http://wiki.greenstone.org/wiki/index.php/GreenstoneWik).

Secondly, did you build the collection after uploading the documents
through the Librarian Interface?

Lastly, you mentioned that you are trying to digitize your manual
catalogue. If I get you correctly, you'd rather do this using an
Integrated Library System (ILS). Examples of Open Source ILSs are:
- Koha (http://www.koha.org)
- Evergreen (http://www.open-ils.org)
- ABCD (http://reddes.bvsalud.org/projects/abcd/)

I hope this addresses your problem. Your feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Regards


Amos
