Day 11

Monday, June 25th 10-8pm

Today's work is mostly surrounding subject headings and authorities. I am meeting with Nancy and Elaine this morning so that I can ask questions and get feedback on the subject headings i have been using thus far. We are also going to do a run through of working with MESH subject headings, since I have not experience with them at all.

My guess is that the meeting and MESH tutorial will take up the entire morning. I then plan to spend the afternoon revising subject headings as needed within the records I have already created. I am also going to take this opportunity to review that records and check for any errors I made. Once I have completed the revising and review I will continue on with more records.

Another issue I may run into this afternoon is that fact that I have almost caught up to where we are in pdf file creation process. Though i am still a couple volumes behind the scanning. It is very difficult to create records without the pages of the issue being together in a complete pdf file. Opening one page at a time on the Dell laptop is difficult and having multiple pages open at one time is almost impossible.

All Issue Records Will contain the following PHIN subject terms

Indiana
Descriptive Statistics
Age-specific death rate
Cause-specific mortality rate
Infant mortality rate
Homicide
Suicide
