Sherri, my workload has been light lately. I could probably do another
county of equal volume to the 3 I've been doing. (Preference a nearby
county to Cumberland).
Thanks!
Joyce

Hi Folks,
During the last month, there were approx. 9000 images transcribed and
proofed (exact numbers are on the staff home page). There were also
approx. 9000 images uploaded that the image processors had completed.
These numbers are where it looks like we'll be maintaining in the future -
or possibly higher!
What I need to know from each of you is how your workload was - were the
numbers presenting for you to work on (whether transcribing, proofing,
image processing, or any combination of these). Was your workload too
high? Too low (there may not be anything that can be done about this for
transcribers or proofers)? Just about right? If it was too high, do you
need for a county or counties to be reassigned, or just need temporary
help?
I also know there are a few that had counties assigned that have either
never started on them or are still way, way behind and you've not
responded when contacted by Sue for transcription and/or proofing
assignments. Image processors, there are a few of you that have had
images assigned for a long time and haven't completed them and you haven't
contacted me about them, either. Please take a few moments to check your
folders - transcribing, proofing and imaging and see what's there waiting
for you to work on and let either Sue or me know if you don't expect to
complete the assignments shortly.
Thanks for your dedication to this project's goals and to making valuable
research material available for KY researchers.
Thanks,
Sherri

I have three counties I do not consider heavy traffic for transcribing.
The only drawback I encountered was the number of documents sent to my
folders in batches. It would be more feasible to limit that number for
empty folders and greatly reduce the time necessary for transcribing
before the next batch is renewed. That would reduce the crunch to a level
of keeping up within shorter time frames at the keyboard. The overall
swing went from about 5 to150 for all counties collectively. Obviously,
the 150 mark was extreme when a few days had passed and a weekly schedule
is used to complete the task. I can not control the amount of days I am
away from my computer, but that seems to be the only hardship I had to
defeat. Other than that, it went rather smoothly when the numbers were
lower than 10 per county and I was able to finish everything on this end
the same day I checked on the workload. I was also able to maintain by
using my business email and staying on top of the!
workflow from my laptop when traveling for more than a week, especially
when I went to Korea in December last year.
