Hello and Help! (Boy - you guys have sure come in handy, lately!)

I am not a cataloger and am a complete newbie (totally!) in the world of
cataloging and its descriptive world, so I am in need of a non-Greek, in
the simplest terms possible, explanation of what DACS (Descriptive
Archives, a Content Standard) is - as compared to EAD (which I thought I
knew) - ah, do they work together or not?? If not, which would you
recommend as a course of study?

Thanks!
Evelyn
