User Guide

This section of the wiki is aimed at the collection builder, and goes beyond the basics covered by the Beginner Guide.

You may also like to look at the Advanced User Guide which is aimed as system administrators, and covers tasks beyond the normal ones of running GLI and building collections. Other advanced information can be found in the Developer Guide which is aimed at users who intend to add new features to Greenstone, and includes information on compiling Greenstone.
