Finally Finished!

After a long process, I have been able to finish fixing the mistakes on the Catalogs and Bulletins! There is only one volume I was never able to locate and then two volumes were scanned twice, the first missing covers pages and the second one being full. It would be best to just mount the full copies, but if this is or the notes in the spreadsheet are confusing, just send me an email and I will get back to you.

On Wednesday I was able to train our new Digitization assistant, Madison Munro! She will be taking over for me while I am studying abroad in Ireland. 

This has been a great and productive semester. I hope everyone has a lovely holiday season!

Closer and closer!
We have a few troubleshooting things to fix this upcoming week and then we will be finished! Mentioned to Stephanie what problem I was having but hoping to sit down with Sara and deciding what to do. 

Going into finals week strong!

Bulletins on Bulletins!

Continuing to move forward with the Catalogs and bulletins. here are now a handful completely ready to mount and updated in the spreadsheet!

There are some new fun discrepancies and will hopefully be able to consult Sara next week on what the best choice would be. I hope to move forward and past those tomorrow and keep moving forward.

So close!

We are getting there in finalizing and triple checking the last of these catalog and bulletin fixes. You can follow the progress of the light green boxes on this spreadsheet:

There is one bright red one in there which I still have not been able to locate. I hope to find it soon and by the end of the semester if it still exists. 

All of the light green boxes have their files moved into appropriate folders in Drobo, but the original spreadsheet has not been updated yet. I plan to finish moving everything over to the folders tomorrow and start updating the spreadsheet.

I plan to come in on Friday as well to finalize the project and organize before the new year!

The last of the Catalogs and Bulletins

I was finally able to finish scanning and OCRing all of the Catalogs and Bulletin fixes (with the exception of the bulletin I still cannot find)! All files are currently in my personal share so tomorrow I plan to move over all files to their corresponding locations as well as continue to hunt for the missing bulletin. 

If anyone has any information here are its details:
Willamette University Bulletin - Vo. 54 No. 1 - Box 13 Folder 1- No date given

It is not in Box 13 Folder 1 as that contains later volumes. I will keep hunting and hopefully will be able to find it.
