- [ image: finding as long scrolling text ]Issues identified during previous usability testing:hierarchical display is confusing / difficult users want to customize their experience users want direct access to content novice users struggle with archival terminology emphasize not only the problem with finding aids, but their connection (non-connection) with digital content. also often point to the MWDL and how it tries to put digital content and EADs side by side, but never relates the two. That's a great way to show that this isn't just our problem. ;-)I'd also add that the value of the rich metadata in finding aids gets lost in DAMs.

- Search results
- Item page
- Collection page
- [ image: messy metadata / variability ]big challenge variable metadata no digital content metadata standards not so much structure (dublin core) lack of shared data content / value standards dates identifiers Differences in how digital objects are structured issues with identifying collections vs. mass of digital objects
- [ image: messy metadata ---> scripts ----> normalized MODS records ] current strategy is OAI provider turned on ?scripts developed for each collection not just each institutionmetadata is normalized by creating MODS records put into access / backlight system speed of workflow from nwda to uva has increased / smoothed
