Okay, so I got a little off-track today, but I still got a lot done.  In my last posted I said my next tasks were to work on organizing  hard-copy photos.  Instead, I organized a batch of hard-copy files I came across.

What I Did

  • I organized a batch of hard-copy files (33 items in total).  They are now in their proper place among my other already filed items.
  • I scanned the aforementioned items (using my new naming convention and sourcing standards I established yesterday, they are good to go!).
  • I entered all of the information accumulated from the aforementioned items into my database, being sure to cite them as I went.

Updated Tally

  • Organize Your Research – Task B (organize digital files) COMPLETE
  • Organize Your Research – Task D (organize digital photos) COMPLETE
  • Organize Your Research – Task A (organize hard files) COMPLETE
  • Organize Your Research – Task E (data/entry or scan photos/files) COMPLETE
  • Go Back & Cite Your Sources 33 and counting

What’s Next

  • Organize Your Research – Task C (organize hard-copy photos)
  • Go Back & Cite Your Sources – need to do 17 more for Platinum
