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.
