Project List sent to Carl as of September 29, 2009:

• Sloan Working Papers:** Continue with loading

• DSpace (and OCA) handles imported into Barton Records:** Work on a script to load the DSpace handles into the Barton records for the Sloan Working Papers.

• RVC:     
  • Landslides loaded in separate collection.
  • Need to correct the images with the incorrect color profiles.  Good project to test Bill’s item update script.  I will arrange a meeting with RVC and Document Services to understand which items need replacing.   
  • Work on the idea of virtual collections. 

• RLE:  Ready for testing
  • RLE reports to DSpace.Rob has put the items here along with the metadata.  He says you have access to this folder.  I do not have access so I could not confirm. This is the path to the RLE metadata directories:   R:\MetaData\Projects-RLE\metadataProduction\metadata  RLE_QPR_001 and RLE_QPR_004 are ready for testing.  The plan for this project is to break this project up in batches and maybe load monthly if the tests go well.  The entire project probably will not be complete until Spring.  Wiki page 

• Edgerton Notebooks:
  • Edgerton notebooks that are ready for testing in DOME.The pdfs can be found here:  R:\DSpace Images\EdgertonThe metadata is on the filemaker server.  I believe you have a lot of experience with this file on filemaker.

• David Taylor Model Basin Reports:
  • These are currently being scanned in Document Services.  These 1,000 reports will go in Dome.  I have attached the spreadsheet with the metadata.  The reports will not be finished scanning for another 10 weeks. Wiki page

• MIT Energy Reports:
  • 447 technical reports.  The scanning in Document Services will probably not start for another 8-10 weeks meaning that the metadata probably will not be ready until late November.  This will be another Barton to DSpace batch so the testing should be minimal.  Selina has already worked through all of the Barton records for this project.Wiki page

• Vail Balloon Prints:
  • Still waiting to hear from Archives if they are ready to load to production or what for the descriptive metadata.

• Thresholds:
  • Waiting for Rotch to decide about the metadata.  Currently this is in Dome Test: http://dome-test.mit.edu/handle/1234567890/30246
