the new Web-based EAD creation tool that has been created by OhioLINK’s
EAD Task Force. Workshop attendees will get hands-on experience in using the
Web-based application as Task Force members lead them through the creation of a
basic finding aid. Participants will also discover how the EAD application and
Finding Aid Repository will work together to create a searchable collection of
archival finding aids from institutions all across <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:State
w:st="on">Ohio</st1:State></st1:place>. They will have an opportunity to
explore the Repository search engine and to browse some finding aids that have
been created during the testing phase of the project. Participants do not need
to bring collection information with them. Participants will work with a sample
finding aid provided by the presenters. Basic familiarity with EAD is helpful
but not required. The Task Force will provide some information to participants
prior to the workshop in order to facilitate learning for those who are new to
Encoded Archival Description.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
