I've been working with a local museum who needed a bit of help digitizing photos in efforts to make a quality digital library for my Digital Libraries class at Rutgers.
The process has been long, but putting everything together I'm now finally able to see my work in one spot and looks nice. Even for a cookie-cutter type website.
I had to abandon the website I had built from scratch due to it showing up on search engines. My robot.txt file just wasn't working at the student web page level, and the museum wanted to keep the photos from being findable due to copy right concerns.
So, I started a Google Site so it wont end up on a search engine, but I can still have it accessible to people I want to share it with. I must say- working with Google Sites has been a pleasure! I'm thinking of using one to build my e-portfolio.
Aside from the tech stuff (which I am loving), the meta data and learning Past Perfect has been so much fun. The software is user friendly and versatile. My boss said it's widely used so it will be a benefit to me if I'm comfortable using it. There's a lot of repetitiveness of filling in information with digitizing the photos while building a library in Past Perfect and also for my assignment, so I'm fortunate my assignment is due this week.
I'm also sad my assignment is due this week. It's been one of the most enjoyable and rewarding assignments I've worked on in my year as an MLIS student. I'm hoping to see more creative, technical based, and overall rewarding tasks in my future.
