Day 16

Today I started/finished Mary's project. There were two children's books by Helen Johnson, which I scanned on the ATIZ scanner (they're pretty long so I had to do some rotating etc. since I didn't want to try replacing the arms right now)

They turned out pretty well and are located in moh, Archives-Scans, PNAA, Keyser_Helen_Johnson.

I also started on the Willamette Campus photos "new box" which is Box 19, and I think doing those on the little OpticBook scanner should be just fine. I am scanning the back side of the ones which have writing.

I'll be out of town next week, back on Tuesday July 2nd! Then I will be here for the rest of the summer.

Good progress so far I think x)

Day 15

I finally finished Doreen's book yesterday! I also finished OCR for Student Handbooks

Day 14

I did OCR with verification (with varying levels of success) on Doreen's book all day today, and still didn't finish x) oh well, I'll pick up tomorrow

We determined that the user of the Wallulah workflow has to be an admin, but in addition to that, when I was playing with settings today I found out that it wanted to process all jobs in a "batch" meaning that it wouldn't take anything to the Output until EVERYTHING was processed. This is why today and yesterday things often wouldn't show up in the Output until we closed all the jobs down, effectively ending the current batch and finishing it.

I changed it so it works like the Student Handbook flow and puts things through one at a time

I'll definitely be finishing that tomorrow, and probably starting/finishing Mary's job for the PNAA

Day 13

Yesterday I worked on Doreen's book for most of the day, then helped fix the Wallulah workflow (which CAN read French)

I also did OCR for Student Handbooks

Day 12

I did OCR on Student Handbooks all day! 1992-2002

Day 11

Forgot to post yesterday! But I got a lot done.

All the missing pages for all Bulletins and Catalogs have been replaced and OCR-ed. There is only one (which is marked) where the pages were physically missing and I could not find another copy of the material that did have the missing pages.

I also started Doreen's project "L'Oregon," I scanned the whole thing with the ATIZ scanner and it exists in tif form under drobo > Doreen Course Books, so I'm hoping to OCR that on Tuesday once we figure out how.

In the meantime I've been OCR-ing Student Handbooks, which should be finished soon (I'm up to 1992)

Day 10

Today I finally made some good progress on replacing missing pages. I only have 4 CLA catalogs left to do, and the problem with those has been with finding the pages, rather than scanning them etc.

Everything else should have been replaced already!

I also did some OCR for student handbooks to pass the time, and now that the ATIZ cameras are working I might start Doreen's French book project this week, when I'm finished replacing those last 8-10 pages.

Day 9

Back from my two week break! Still trying to finish up those missing pages as soon as possible. Re-numbering, as I found out, is a very time-consuming and detailed process.

I've pulled a good chunk of the archival materials I need to re-scan, and I spent over an hour trying to get the right camera on the ATIZ scanner to work. If I can't get it first thing in the morning I'll just ask Sara to help.

Finally, I'm very excited about the projects I'll be doing to Doreen, which I'll get started as soon as I reach a good stopping point for the re-scanning.
