The rhythm of inputing metadata…

Has anyone else felt that sometimes inputing metadata is relatively relaxing, and everything goes well, and it is almost repetitive to the point of being meditative…

…And then there are times when it is so frustrating to be doing the exact same thing over and over again?!  Working on the files from Elgin public schools for the Remember September Mail Art project really made me wish that there was a way to batch metadata. There is a lot of repetition in that collection!  I guess it all depends on your mood going into a project and how many problems you run into along the way.

I have really been enjoying seeing the exhibits come together.  One thing that is very satisfying about a course like this one is that you really get to create something from nothing, and create a product that is polished, professional, and tells the story of your journey through the course.

On another note, I was so impressed with Chris Brown’s lecture on the history of sound recording.  Even though there was an entire course crammed into one lecture, I felt that I came away having learned a lot.  I am always so impressed by people with such great passion for something so specific.

See you all tomorrow!
