25. IMPLEMENTING ENCODED ARCHIVAL DESCRIPTION  (MONDAY-FRIDAY, MARCH
11-15). Encoded Archival Description (EAD) provides standardized
machine-readable access to primary resource materials. This course is
aimed at archivists, librarians, and museum personnel who would like
an introduction to EAD that includes an extensive supervised hands-on
component. Students will learn SGML encoding techniques in part using
examples selected from among their own institution's finding aids.
Topics: the context out of which EAD emerged; introduction to the use
of SGML authoring tools and browsers; the conversion of existing
finding aids to EAD. Instructor: Daniel Pitti.

DANIEL PITTI became Project Director at the University of Virginia's
Institute for Advanced Technology in 1997, before which he was
Librarian for Advanced Technologies at the University of California,
Berkeley. He was the Coordinator of the Encoded Archival Description
initiative.
