Re: Linking finding aid to online catalog



Why are you doing this?

It makes sense to make a link from the MARC online catalog record to the
finding aid (from less info to the more comprehensive info)...but I would
expect the finding aid to have all the same information in it that is in the
catalog record.  So what is to be gained?  Just curious.

We plan to create a link from our online finding aid to the bibliographic
record in our online library catalog.  We would like to know how other
archives label this link.    We are considering "record in online catalog,"
"link to catalog record," "online catalog record."  Please let me know what
you would recommend.  We plan to add this information in our EAD finding
aids (we currently generate HTML versions of the finding aids from the XML).
