Friday, August 3rd 9-4pm
Today is the final day of my internship. Most of my day will be spent doing wrap-up things like finishing my last few record conversions, making sure the authority file is accurate, and drafting a couple of final templates. I also need to make sure that everything is available on Bertha and that I have updated the project documentation file to accurately represent the work I have done.
This afternoon I am meeting with Elaine and Nancy to run the creation of a record. To save a bit of time I have created the record ahead of time. Reading through the entire record for subject headings is the most time consuming. Also both Elaine and Nancy are much more experienced at subject heading creation than I am so they really don't need me to go through that part.
I expect that all of these activities will take up most of the day. If I have any time remaining I will work on more records, but I doubt I will have the time.
Day 22
Wednesday, August 1st 9:30-5:30pm
I am still working on converting the metadata records so that they will be compatible for upload to CONTENTdm. I hope to finish most of the records today so that on Friday I can concentrate on other things. Since Friday is my last day I hope to have everything in order and explained to that others can easily follow what I have been doing. I would also like to have final (or almost final) drafts for the CONENTdm metadata templates for tables and images set up before I leave.
Accomplishment
I am almost finished converting the existing records into the CONTENTdm format. I should easily finish up Friday morning. I have also finished the IDeA/CONTENTdm templates (all in one excel file) for both the issue and article level. I should have the same done for illustrations and tables/statistics by the time I leave on Friday. The authority file is also up to date. I will make sure that all of this is on Bertha and ready to go by the end of the day on Friday.
I also have a practice issue-level record to go through with Elaine and Nancy Friday
afternoon. I plan to go through the process of creating both the IDeA and CONTENTdm records, though they are very similar.
