Hello Joshua, I recommend the 'EAD2HTML Transforming Your Finding Aids via XSLT' online workshop, taught by Bill Walker at Amigos Library Services. I took it last year, and I thought it was an informative and very engaging hands-on introduction to EAD and XSLT: EAD2HTML: Transforming your Finding Aids with XSL | Amigos Library Services | | | | EAD2HTML: Transforming your Finding Aids with XSL | Amigos Library Services | | | While I was looking up the link for the workshop, I saw that Amigo is also offering a basics class on EAD3: EAD3: the Basics | Amigos Library Services | | | | EAD3: the Basics | Amigos Library Services | | | -Anne Marie Anne Marie LyonsTraining and Library Solutions Consultant at Atlas Systems ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 18 Sep 2018 13:13:47 -0500 From: Josh Welker <[log in to unmask]> Subject: EAD newbies looking for help getting started Hi all, We are about to embark on a first-time project encoding some of our special collections pathfinders in EAD format. The staff involved have no experience with EAD and minimal experience with XML at all. Does anyone know of any good learning/training materials, whether book, video, online course, etc.? I am also interested in seeing how libraries actually display this information to the user. Do people just use XSLT stylesheets to transform the EAD documents into human-readable web pages? How/where do you index the EAD files? Joshua Welker Information Technology Librarian James C. Kirkpatrick Library University of Central Missouri Warrensburg, MO 64093 JCKL 2260 660.543.8022
