Research Journal #26 December 6, 2009

Digitizing my research portfolio has been a whirlwind full of frustration and headaches, but by golly I believe I did it!  I managed to get my documents up using Scribd and a scanner.  Through trial and error, I realized that my fieldnotes and WA2 and WA4 had to be scanned as pictures.  Then they were uploaded to Scribd without a problem.  The one thing I don’t like is that the stuff on my artifacts page and WA page is all under one link, thereby making my table of contents page seem redundant.  I’m still iffy on the whole pictures deal.  When I spoke to Holly Stevens at the Special Collections Office, she said I couldn’t upload the pictures I’ve taken of the newspapers online.  So, I uploaded the pictures I listed on the table of contents, and I am burning the rest to a disk until I obtain the permission needed to upload them.
