Apologies in advance for duplication; this survey is being sent to four
listservs.

Among a variety of sources for determining appropriate content for the
Encoded Archival Description (EAD) version 1.0 Application Guidelines, the
SAA's EAD Working Group is conducting an informal survey of subscribers to
the EAD, LCSH-AMC, ARCAN-L and ARCHIVES listservs in order to get a sense
of what topics archivists interested--at any level--in EAD implementation
would like to see covered in these forthcoming Application Guidelines. The
Application Guidelines will obviously not be able to address each and
every topic mentioned by survey respondents, especially specific hardware
and software issues.

Please be kind to recipients of this list and reply directly to me
([log in to unmask]), not to the list! Thanks in advance to those who take
the time to respond.

THE SURVEY:

Please list, in order from most to least important, any topics that you
would find it helpful to have covered in the EAD version 1.0 Application
Guidelines.
