Hi Susan- We're getting close to launching a new version of our Finding Aids system using the California Digital Library's eXtensible Text Framework (XTF) <http://www.cdlib.org/inside/projects/xtf/> software for indexing and displaying our EAD finding aids. Once we go live with the new site, we'll be sharing it with the EAD listserv. We generally have collection-level records in our OPAC that link to the full online finding aid.
