With XSL stylesheets, it is possible to reorder and reuse data in more than one location in your presentation. Using the combined model, one can extract series descriptions to create a separate list of series titles, dates, quantities, scope and content descriptions, etc., as you wish, and then display (or not) the same data again with the details of the contents of each series. It is not necessary to have the data in a separate section or key it twice into two sections. We encode the data once in the combined model. In the past we have produced one integrated view for both web and print versions. We are now considering changing this so that the print version for larger collections at least will have a separate series listing as well. This is consistent with past practice and seems to match better the linear reading pattern of print documents as distinguished from the non-sequential scanning of electronic files.
