I'm curious about this myself. Our archive includes a stock of medical
books, and the library director has asked me to catalog them twice: as
part of the library's regular OPAC and as part of the EAD-based finding
aids I'm writing up. Doing the latter feels a bit like pounding a round
peg into a square hole, and I'd be interested to hear how others have
handled it.

Subject: Book Collections in EAD
Hi Ead-ers,
We have several large book collections in Endnote that we intend to
catalog as manuscript collections. Has anybody here had to turn the
output of Endnote into EAD and, if so, do you have any suggestions to
speed the process? Also, is it acceptable to use standard Chicago
Manual of Style bibliographic format for each of the books in the
finding aid or does this violate DACS?
Thanks!
