Tools & helper files Colorado State University Water Resources Archive

URL: http://lib.colostate.edu/water/

Encoding Procedure:  

Existing word processing files were manually cut-and-pasted into a template in XMetaL. The archivist trained a student and a staff member to do this with good results. New finding aids are created directly in XML.

Delivery Mechanism:  

The XML files are converted to HTML by using an XSL stylesheet and then are placed on a server. The site gives direct links to the finding aids and provides a search engine (Mnogo) to search across them. Finding aids were posted to the web beginning in April 2003. Printed finding aids are also produced through an XSL stylesheet, conversion to Microsoft Word, and a bit of manual clean up.
