This article focuses on a new tool for information retrieval-collection-level description. It allows users to search for resources across archive, library and museum domains, enabling them to identify appropriate collections for visits or item-level searching. Collection-level description originated with the Heaney entity-relationship model of collections; the metadata schemas based on the model can be used to structure searchable relational databases in which descriptions are held and a Dublin Core Application Profile is being developed. Examples are given of existing collection description databases. The final section of the article considers the relevance of collection-level description to the archives community.
