Abstract	This article examines how finding aids are structured and delivered, considering alternative approaches. It suggests that single-level displays, those that present a single component of a multilevel description to users at a time, have the potential to transform the delivery and display of collection information while improving the user experience. It also examines how single-level displays allow for greater reuse of finding aid data. It introduces the Brigham Young University finding aid system as a proof of concept model demonstrating the power of using inheritance and single-level displays to meet user needs. (Contains 6 figures and 79 notes.) (As Provided).
