摘要

The examples above show a wide variety of different types of digital library. And they are by no means exhaustive: we know of many other Greenstone collections in countries from Canada to South Africa, some of which have unusual features such as collections optimized for viewing on small-screen handheld devices. The last four examples represent institutional rather than individual users..Each has large numbers of different collections. The New Zealand Digital Library, which originated Greenstone, offers scores of collections and represents the cutting edge of digital library research using Greenstone as a vehicle for dissemination. The Humanitarian collections involve a huge ancillary effort in digitizing thousands of books, reports, and other documents for inclusion on Greenstone CD-ROMs, and a vast distribution mechanism―fifty thousand copies are distributed annually, of which 60% are provided free. The UNESCO project distributes not information collections themselves but the capacity to build new information collections, which is a more effective strategy for sustained long-term human development. Finally, Global Library Services Network is a large-scale commercial application of Greenstone which is aimed at the educational and health sectors, particularly in remote regions. Virtually every new collection involves its own idiosyncratic requirements. Consequently, those building digital libraries need constant access to advice and assistance from others, in order to continue to learn how to tailor the software to meet ever-changing new requirements. There is a lively email discussion group for assistance with Greenstone; it contains participants from over 40 different countries. The software itself is being downloaded around 1500 times per month, on average. Truly the world of practical digital libraries is burgeoning. The time has come to stop talking about digital libraries and get on with building them!
