Hello all --
Suppose I have the following in a finding aid for a collection:
Correspondence/Subject Files
...
Elizabeth Press - Box 1
Emily Dickinson Bulletin - see Morey, Frederick L.
Enslin, Theodore - Box 1
...
For the Emily Dickinson Bulletin with the "see" reference, how might you
interpret that in EAD? The reference itself is a REF element, no problem
there -- but what to wrap it in? If it were a "see also" I would use a NOTE
element, to point out additional information of interest to the researcher,
but in this case there IS no material at "Emily Dickinson Bulletin" just a
pointer to somewhere else.
As of now we're using PHYSLOC (see below) on the theory that the "see"
reference functions as a locator to tell the reader where the material
actually is, but I wondered what other approaches might work, or what others
have used.
