A number of months ago we began a long overdue project to identify and replace images missing from our database…please, take a brief walk with me down memory lane… In days of yore… we had approximately 2 million “back images” captured using an automated scanning system. This was a great project…an extremely fast way of digitzing images… but, it lacked “human” quality checking. Of course, some images were missed and/or incorrectly named (not by us, by the computer). A number of months ago we assigned an employee to find all the missing images from book 2705 to present. After locating the problems, we began the process of making the corrections. One employee was designated to scan the missing images. Last week…the project was completed. Tomorrow we will begin the next phase of the operation…checking for missing images from “Book 2704 to 2349″. Why “Book 2349″ and not “Book 1″? Well, “Book 2349″ is the last book that can be easily disassembled and re-assembled…and …when this phase is done we’ll continue to work on the more difficult books…
