Introduction In this paper, we present a prototype for a post-secondary information resource that is maintained as a digital library collection. The post-secondary resource maintains information on the degree and diploma programs offered by participating post-secondary institutions. The purpose is to provide a one-stop-shop for students to browse and search for information on programs that they may consider pursuing at the post-secondary level. This resource has the following features. First, it uses the services of the Greenstone digital library software for retrieving information from the World Wide Web, building the resource and its required searching and browsing mechanisms, and providing the interface for accessing the resource. Second, formatting modules are added to Greenstone to unify HTML pages and to reject pages that are outside the scope of the resource. Third, searching and browsing are customized to facilitate information access from different angles. Finally, the resource is updated nightly in order to keep its information current.
