Good morning.
I received the following email this morning and am wondering if anyone has any suggestions.
“Hi Heather,
I have an open textbook/ ed tech question for you. Do you know of any software for making glossaries? Pressbooks has a type of page called a glossary, but doesn’t have any glossary-specific functionality. Perhaps it was intended as a placeholder. Right now the textbook just has end-matter with a long list of terms, but it’s a major job to keep track of whether a term has been listed and/or defined, and alphabetizing is all manually done. I did a quick search to see what glossary software is out there, but I was wondering if you knew off-hand about anything that is particularly reliable, and that we are unlikely to lose access to at some point in the future. An open source solution that we can run on our own might help, though I would need help with getting it set up on a local server.”
