Hi Gilchriste,

1. What kind of titles would these be? What format are the source files that
you wish to upload? Are they still bibliographic records? This I say because
Greenstone allows you to mix any type of material, and as long as you design
your format statements in a way that'll cater for each of the types the
uploaded items should be visible from the reader interface.

2. Your server will need to have an external IP address (obtainable through
your internet service provider) for your collections to be visible to the
outside world, i.e., beyond your organisational network.

I hope that helps.

Regards



Amos
