Checking Work By Object

From UA Libraries Digital Services Planning and Documentation

For each object, follow these procedures for workflow and quality control as you go:

Handling materials

• Pay attention to the quality of the physical object; if there is any chance of damage during scanning, consult with a supervisor for instructions.
• If it appears that what you are to digitize is a duplicate or an unclear image of questionable worth, consult with a supervisor for instructions.

Capture

• Visually check the quality of images as you make captures
• Be careful when inputting numbers for automatic file naming

Working with metadata

• Check existing metadata
• Compare descriptions and filenames in spreadsheet with the digital objects

Optimization/saving to Share drive

• Check to make sure the following are correct
  • Destination folder
  • File naming
  • File extension

Documentation

• Enter all work in TrackingFiles spreadsheet
• If you notice discrepancies between TrackingFiles and what's on the share drive, consult with a supervisor for instructions.
