==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:

==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]]
+
-
** [[Customizing Findaid Class#Working_with_the_table_of_contents |Working with the table of contents]]
+
-
* [[Working with Fabricated Regions in Findaid Class]]
+
-
* [[Troubleshooting Finding Aids#Common_Problems_and_Solutions |Common Problems and Solutions]]
+
-
** [[Troubleshooting Finding Aids#Title_of_Finding_Aid_does_not_show_up |Title of Finding Aid does not show up]]
+

-
===[[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.
+
-
 
+
-
===[[Findaid Class Processing Instructions]]===
+
-
These are some current processing instructions for Finding Aids Class, but the DLXS group will not maintain this section.
