This topic describes how to mount a Findaid Class collection.
Workshop materials are located at http://www.dlxs.org/training/workshop200707/findaidclass/fcoutline.html
[edit] Overview
The Finding Aids Class is in many ways similar in behavior to Text Class. Access minimally includes full text searching across collections or within a particular collection of Finding Aids, viewing Finding Aids in a variety of display formats, and creation of personal collections ("bookbag") of Finding Aids.
To mount a Finding Aids Collection, you will need to complete the following steps:
- Prepare your data and set up a directory structure
- Validate and normalize your data
- Build the Index
- Mount the collection online
[edit] Findaid Class Behaviors Overview
This section describes the basic Findaid Class behaviors.
[edit] Examples of Findaid Class Implementations and Practices
This section contains links to public implementations of DLXS Findaid Class as well as documentation on workflow and implementation issues.

[edit] Working with the User Interface
General user interface customizations, such as changing rendering style (CSS) or making changes to the XSL are covered in Customizing the User Interface. Specific user-interface issues related to Findaid Class are discussed in the following sections:
- Customizing Findaid Class
- Working with Fabricated Regions in Findaid Class
- Common Problems and Solutions
[edit] Findaid Class Graphics Files
Are there findaid class specific graphics files? The existing html docs actually point to a ../t/text/ directory and it appears that the graphics are generic and not at all specific to findaid class.
[edit] Findaid Class Processing Instructions
These are some current processing instructions for Finding Aids Class, but the DLXS group will not maintain this section.
