Hours: 8 Total Hours: 120 I started out my day checking on the surveys, no new responses. So, I printed out the usability script, having read it off the computer screen yesterday. I also printed out several copies of the citation for the Faculty test, so I could hand it to them, instead of just showing them the script. Then I… More →

Day 14 at CML
Hours: 7.5 Total Hours: 105 A3 scans look good, so I got A4 started, it was a bit blurry at the beginning, but eventually, I got it sorted out. While it was scanning, I started sorting A3, noting a couple pages that needed rescanning, along the way. I was a bit more conscious of making the folders small enough to… More →

Hours: 7.5 Total Hours: 97.5 I started my day sorting the first roll of hand-written cards (A1), and scanning the second roll(A2) onto a different drive. Took me a while to get the scanner calibrated just right, but not nearly as long as the first time. Once I had the A1 roll sorted, I renamed the files sequentially on a different… More →

I checked in with Jane, and she let me know she had sent out the Usability Pre-Survey.

Day 12 at CML
Hours: 7.5 Total Hours: 90 Yesterday, watching the scrolling scan out of the corner of my eye made me very motion-sick, so today, I set up the folder it is scanning into to sort in reverse order, so that each new scan shows in the first slot, then I squeeze the folder window to the side of the screen, so… More →

Hours: 7.5 Total Hours: 82.5 The first roll of Ohio State Journal indexes is finished, but he didn’t have the time to set up any of the others. Aaron is also not on site yet. So, I get the next roll, and start up the program. It takes me a while to get it sorted out, because I did not… More →
Day 12 at Otterbein
Hours: 7.5 Total Hours: 90 Jane was already in a meeting when I arrived today, so I gathered all my assignments together from my email To Do box, and got to work. There were some new suggestions for the Website Usability Pre-Survey, so I started on that. I updated the intro, changed a few free-answer questions to multiple choice, and… More →
