-	==[[Getting Started with DLXS]]==	+
-		+
-	Because the DLXS system is expansive and flexible, depending on your collection materials and how you want users to be able to access them, you may want to make different decisions about issues like data conversion and organization. UM has used DLXS to mount many collections and has some insights and recommendations about how you might approach the process. For these pointers and to examine an assortment of DLXS implementations, see the following:	+

-	* [[Making Collection Decisions: A Brief Overview]]	+
-		+
-	After you have decided how you want your collection to work, the following topics will help you get started with DLXS:	+
-		+
-	* [[System Requirements]]	+
-	* [[Installing DLXS]]	+
-	* [[Authentication and Authorization]]	+
-	* [[DLPS Development Environment]]	+

-	===Documentation===	+
-		+
-	DLXS developers compiled the existing DLXS documentation over many iterations of the system. The current documentation first describes the different pieces of the DLXS system and then outlines, in task-based steps, how to use DLXS to mount different types of digital collections, including collections made up primarily of text, images, bibliographic material, and finding aids. These sections of the documentation are based on procedures and models DLPS has used in the past. You can customize many of these tasks depending on your collection’s unique needs.	+
-	Depending on where you are in the process of mounting your collection when you begin working with the DLXS system, and depending on the content and format of your data, you may need to modify and/or skip steps the documentation describes. Where possible, the descriptions provide examples to illustrate the outcome of a particular course of action.	+
-		+
-	===Getting Help===	+
-		+
-	Paid subscribers to DLXS may contact the DLXS Support group with questions. For information on how to do this, please send email to DLXS Info or contact Perry Willett at 734.764-8074.	+
-	If you are not a paid subscriber, please post your question to the dlxsfree-users listserv.	+
-		+
-	==[[Installing DLXS]]==	+
-	Installing DLXS provides step-by-step installation instructions.	+
-		+
-	===[[System Requirements]]===	+
-	This section discusses the system requirements for installing and running DLXS.	+
-		+
-	===[[Authentication and Authorization]]===	+
-	An overview of the authenication and authorizations systems. For more comprehensive information, see the '''Ancillary Resources''' section below.	+
-		+
-	===[[DLPS Development Environment]]===	+
-	'''DLPS Development Environment''' describes the environment in which DLXS developers work on and implement the system.	+
-		+
-	==[[Making Collection Decisions: A Brief Overview]]==	+
-	In '''Making Collection Decisions''' you will find information about directory structures and conventions, working with Unicode, XML, and XSLT, TEILite Tagging, and EAD Encoding. Information about Image Class and Bib Class to come.	+
-		+
-	==[[Data Conversion and Preparation]]==	+
-	In '''Data Conversion and Preparation''', you will find strategies for modifying, normalizing, and converting your data to work with DLXS. This section includes information on UTF-8 and other character encodings.	+
