Kerstin, interesting to find your inquiry on the EAD list. I am a
librarian at Mills College, also using DYNIX, and also investigating a
new automated system. We will be getting presentations from 4 or 5
vendors during the summer and then well send out an RFP to the most
likely.
I will keep you posted if I get any sense about features for Special
Collections

Nancy MacKay
