The Greenstone digital library specialists

Award winning DL Consulting (DLC) are the world's leading suppliers of commercial consulting, customization, support, maintenance and hosting services for the Greenstone digital library software suite.

DLC provide Greenstone-based web delivery systems to some of the largest newspaper digitization projects in the world, as well as to many other projects delivering a wide-range of diverse digital documents. If your organisation is working on a digitization project, to be delivered online or on CD-ROM/DVD, you need to consider Greenstone, and DLC.

Why choose Greenstone?

  • Greenstone is open source software, licensed under the Gnu Public License (GPL). An increasing number of organizations are now recognizing the considerable benefits of open source software over traditional proprietary software licensing.
  • Greenstone is mature, high quality software, and has been under constant development for over ten years.
  • Greenstone is produced by the world-renowned digital libraries research group at the University of Waikato in New Zealand. This research group is based in the Computer Science department at the University of Waikato, but comprises contributors from universities throughout the world. The group is one of the oldest and best respected in this field of research. Former contributors to the group have gone on to succeed in a number of related fields, including as key technical staff with Google.
  • Greenstone is constantly being improved by a community of users, as well as by a software development team at the University of Waikato, and by the software development team at DLC.
