Re: [CODE4LIB] Call for Old Conf Tshirt Logos
I just wanna point out how funny/awesome it is that this thread so smoothly evolved from a discussion of t-shirt designs to one of fundamental organizational infrastructure.

Re: [CODE4LIB] EAD vs. HTML for finding aids
Hi Rachel- If you encode your finding aids in EAD you will have much more flexibility to do other things with them in the future, including conversion to HTML and crosswalking to other metadata formats as needed. Highly recommended over simply marking them up as HTML. -Trevor Thornton On Fri, May 10, 2013 at 4:56 PM, Rachel Shaevel rshae...@chipublib.orgwrote: My apologies if my question didn't make sense. I'm speaking as a cataloger, not a coder. :) Basically we have some of our finding aids as just plain old HTML pages, like this one: http://www.chipublib.org/cplbooksmovies/cplarchive/archivalcoll/abbott_seng1.php. The choices presented by TPTB were to continue adding HTML finding aid pages to our web site (which will soon be run by BiblioCommons) or to mark them up using EAD and upload them into CONTENTdm and make them part of our digital collections. I suspect the finding aids in question are those that exist in paper format, not those that are already on our web site. It's not really an either-or kind of thing. I thought if the finding aids were marked up in EAD they would be more computer-actionable.

So I guess it would be helpful if you could elaborate on your question a bit more so we can give you some useful feedback.
