Hi Monicah

 

thx for your examples - they arrived fine. Trying to uncover what your work is about and then put it up on that web page: can you please check the following info and correct / add where necessary - appreciated:

 

1) You work at one of the libraries or at the IT department of Kenyatta University in Kenya ?

Please give some detail or a web address:

[I checked www.ku.ac.ke/ : this is BIG ; I also see in my Google search that you do e-learning with Moodle: wow]

 

2) Your Greenstone collection are Exam Papers: for all faculties ?

The Exam Papers collection covers .... (please add some info):

 

3) The searchable exam papers are intended for students, I suppose. Correct ?

 

4) Given the choice between full text searching and browsing, I conclude from screenshot 1 that you opted for full text searching as the main functionality for this user group under 3) And secondly for browsing on Title and File Name - both metadata elements probably being extracted automatically.

Correct ? Please explain a bit: ....

 

5) Access: from the IP address (192.168 etc.) I conclude that you give access on an Intranet or Campus ..

Correct ? Please add some info..

It is also interesting for your colleagues in the Support Network to learn about so called Intellectual Property Right Issues and Open Access: did you look into these access policy for this collection ?

Access policy: ... (would be nice to have some info)

 

Much obliged, Repke de Vries
