Archives manual
June 12, 2007
I’ve decided it’s time to get all the archives procedures that have been written up (many have not) into one place. It’s that old “what would they do if I got hit by a truck” scenario.
I’m searching for the files, on all the computers and disks I can think of, moving them to a folder on my computer named “Archives manual”. Next, I’m converting them to PDF and saving them on the Archives server so they will be both backed up, and accessible to the rest of the library staff. I decided on PDF with the hope I can figure out how to index the whole lot.
I had hoped I could just append like I do with the faculty e-mail, but that doesn’t seem to be an option in Word. I can insert pages so perhaps that is what I will end up doing.
As always, if you know how to index or have other great tips, I’d love to hear from you and will share the information here.
