 *The Finding Aid Creation Tool* (https://ead.library.kent.edu/ ) is a web-based application to facilitate the generation of EAD-compliant XML-based finding aids. No software to install; it can be used on any computer with Internet access. The finding aids can then be downloaded to the user's computer and submitted to the Repository for viewing by the general public. A binary MARC record can also be automatically generated which can then be imported into your catalog.
 
*The OhioLINK Finding Aid Repository* (http://ead.ohiolink.edu/ ) is designed to showcase the rich collections housed in archives, libraries, and other institutions throughout the state of Ohio. The Repository provides access to collections on a broad scale, increasing the visibility of these unique and valuable resources for research. The Repository contains descriptions of archival collections from contributing institutions across Ohio. Collection descriptions are fully searchable. Researchers can view brief summaries of collections, or the entire text of finding aids, with search keywords highlighted. The browse, search, and advanced search options allow users to browse the entire repository, do a focused search for specific topics, or limit search results to a specified institution.
