["Earl J. Moniz" <earlj@MONIZ.ORG>]

Hello librarians; would-be librarians; have-been librarians; and our 
favorite Latin lurker, et al.,
I'm searching for an email mentor who is willing to establish an 
email relationship to help install, build, and implement the 
Greenstone <www.greestone.org> solution for our collection of images, 
documents, and audio recordings at the history office where I work. 
I'll have a few questions from time to time and need to have them 
scrutinized, critiqued, and analyzed for further action. Please 
respond directly to me offline.
I just received the Ian Witten book yesterday and can't wait to get started!

For those of you looking for a low-cost, no-cost solution for your 
library collection, the site might be of interest to you as well. The 
"Big 3" <so to speak> in this open-source realm are Fedora, Dspace, 
and Greenstone.
I'll compile a summary and post it when it is appropriate. . .
* * *
I may have already posted this invitation once before on this list. . 
. I can't recall. . .
You know, I don't remember being this forgetful when I was younger. . .  <wink>
I even bought a book once titled "90 Days to a SuperMemory" . . .
I lost it on the 85th day. . .  <geeez>
Now I can't find it for sale anywhere. . .
you know, come to think of it, maybe it was "90 Days to a SteelTrapMemory?"
hmmmm. . .

Until that time. . . aloha y'all  . . .   Earl J.

PS Any of you need a more laid-back avenue for your questions, 
comments, musings? Consider joining Lib101 . . . email me.
It is not a competing site, it is a complementary site - Peter knows 
of it and has agreed to let me invite others from here from time to 
time <actually annually or less frequently>. I'm not asking you to 
quit LM_NET, I'm just inviting you to join another group of veterans 
and students who need a less formal avenue for their questions and 
discussions than LM_NET affords. Our groups doesn't have the 
expertise available here, but it *is* a more intimate and relaxed 
setting. Think of it as a small study room in this huge LM_NET 
library of 17,000+ practicing professionals, students, and interested 
parties. . . email me at the above email address.

Okay, I'm really leaving now. . .  aloha y'all. . .  Earl J.
