The University of Minnesota Libraries is pleased announce the release of 
its new *Online Finding Aids *database at: 
http://discover.lib.umn.edu/findaid/ .

This system, powered by DLXS, unifies for searching and browsing over 
3,300 EAD-encoded finding aids describing collections held by thirteen 
different repositories within the Libraries’ Archives and Special 
Collections (ASC) Department. This makes it among the largest 
collections of finding aids by a single institution in the country, and 
will significantly enhance the potential for researchers to discover 
specific materials held deep in the archival collections as well as 
relevant materials across more than one ASC unit. More about the 
University of Minnesota Libraries EAD implementation project can be 
found at: http://wiki.lib.umn.edu/Staff/FindingAidsInEAD.
