Rob, Mikki, and Craig to meet to set up the cataloging logistics the week of February 22nd.
Hi all I've taken a look at the sample FTL reports that Alina brought down. My first question is whether all of the reports will be "consumable" or if there will be a split similar to the Energy Labs with some "consumable" and some "non consumable". -- Yes, there will be a split. Non-consumable issues will be housed in acid-free archival folders labeled with call numbers. If some of the commercially bound items are "non consumable", they will not be able to be scanned through the Document Feeder scanners and would have to be done on the overhead scanner.
-- OK. If a report is marked "non consumable" and it is stapled or bound in some other basic manner, will we be able to take the staples out? -- We'll send the whole run through Preservation Services as usual. They'll follow the same procedure we worked out for stapled (or other simply bound) issues: disbind them for you and then rebind (e.g. restaple) them for return to the Archives' collections. Also some of the reports that are loose already have old staple or punch holes that have been degraded. These will need to be trimmed a little so they can go through the feeder without getting jammed. -- That's great -- as long as the trimming doesn't intrude on the text block, tables, or graphics. In those difficult cases, maybe you could photocopy the pages involved and scan them (if the image isn't too degraded). Nicole, if you are the one to do the trimming on our guillotine please see Mike Cook before starting. He just wants to advise you about hidden staples that sometimes are within a document. If the blade hits a staple it puts a nick in the blade and he ends up having to replace it. He has run into this situation doing some trimming of our own recently so I just wanted to keep you aware. -- Thanks for following up with Nicole on this, Jenn.
