Staff at DLG and Hargrett Library began ramping up for the project in early February. The first collections will arrive from the Atlanta History Center in mid-March.
Since all the imaging work will be done in two different buildings (the Main Library and the new Special Collections Library), staff in both locations are keeping in close contact. As project needs change, the students may change their home base from one unit to another. As such, the three student supervisors are working collaboratively to hire our student scanners. They've advertised the position on DawgTrak, UGA's student job bulletin board, drawn up expectation documents, and fine-tuned training documents. Student interviews are being scheduled, and we'll be doing a mock training session next week.
On the equipment front, we've rearranged DLG's workspace to accommodate our additional five scanning students. Given the volume of imaging work, we needed to ensure that we had enough working files and archival storage.
We're looking forward to the project and welcoming our new student assistants.
