by Rajan 20 Feb '07

20 Feb '07

We have prepared an easy-to-follow Manual for Conversion of Winisis Archive into Greenstone collections with Greenstone digital Library software 2.72 Wnisis Archive here means an archive of full-text documents created by using link.......OPENFILE command. The manual is useful only for those who are familiar with creation of Winisis database with linked fulltext documents. (The contents in this manual are dealt with in the Dr John Rose's guide available in Internet. But we have excluded "as is" conversion of Winisis dabase to greenstone to make it simple). Our next document will be on easier customization of Greenstone. The manual can be had from librariankila(a)hotmail.com K Rajasekharan Librarian, Kerala Institute of Local administration Mulagunnathukavu - 680 581 Thrissur, India Ph 0487-2204097 (O) 2201428 (R)
