| contents | Re-Imagining Archival Display: Creating User-Friendly Finding Aids Daines, J. Gordon, III Nimer, Cory L. Internet Search Strategies Archives Information Retrieval Information Systems Online Searching Libraries Library Services Web Sites Search Engines This article examines how finding aids are structured and delivered, considering alternative approaches. It suggests that single-level displays, those that present a single component of a multilevel description to users at a time, have the potential to transform the delivery and display of collection information while improving the user experience. It also examines how single-level displays allow for greater reuse of finding aid data. It introduces the Brigham Young University finding aid system as a proof of concept model demonstrating the power of using inheritance and single-level displays to meet user needs. (Contains 6 figures and 79 notes.) |
