Summary

Archivists and Librarians: here is the perfect introduction to archival description and its latest technological applications! Encoded Archival Description on the Internet introduces a variety of perspectives that will assist you in deciding whether EAD is an appropriate tool in a given context and, if it is, provides the knowledge you need to begin planning, organizing, and implementing projects and programs in your library. It shows how archival description differs from bibliographic description, presents EAD as a standard and shows its relation to the MARC format and other standards, discusses implementation issues, museum use, and much more!
