The School of Library, Archive and Information Studies, University College London, in collaboration with BookMARC of Coimbra, Portugal, is pleased to announce the availability of the LEADERS toolkit via SourceForge, http://leaders.sourceforge.net/ LEADERS is a generic toolkit that enables the creation of an online environment which integrates EAD finding aids and EAC authority records with TEI transcripts and digitized images of archival material. It is suitable for a wide variety of archives. The toolkit can be configured to search different XML elements and to display the results in a variety of formats. A demonstrator application is available via the LEADERS Project home page at http://www.ucl.ac.uk/leaders-project/. This site also includes background material on the XML applications used by LEADERS, on related projects and on research on the needs of archive users. LEADERS was funded by a Resource Enhancement award from the UK Arts and Humanities Research Board. Susan Hockey
