Abstract:
As a case study, this paper focus on an information delivery problem which is how a small university library dealt with the problem of cataloging and delivering access to a digital collection of final works in all courses. Those collections are very useful to potential students and final students in all fields of studies.
Documents were somehow already classified and arranged in an excel list. The aim of this work is the automatic migration from an excel list of classified documents into a digital library tool. The open source digital software greenstone was adopted in the university library because it fits the needs and the way the library is organized.
