Encoded Archival Description (EAD) is a standard tagging convention used by archivists and related librarians to tag reference materials so they can be searched for on an online database. It is a non-proprietary, general-use tool maintained by the Society of American Archivists. This book from the SAA gives librarians the newest version, EAD3. It replaces earlier versions of EAD; this volume becomes the standard, both for existing users and to introduce new users to the system. EAD3 has extensive changes, including new elements and attributes, to improve how it functions and how well it operates with other systems. This will be a required book for reference librarians and other librarians, archivists, and library science students who handle databases. Annotation ©2015 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR ()
