QR Codes (re-visited)

So, great news! I'm actually going to be implementing the QR code idea into the archives at Luther College. After the materials are cataloged and entered into Archon, we'll be creating QR codes that will direct to the box list online. We'll be attaching the codes to the boxes on the shelf, so we can instantly read what the contents are of each box and browse other boxes nearby by swipe/scrolling on our newly purchased iPod Touch! I'll be sure to keep the blog updated with my progress and include a few photos, too.

To celebrate, here's an awesome video that is part of the Google Demo Slam Project. (If you have a few minutes, head over to the Slampionship and vote for some of the best demo videos!)

Back from an unintentional break!

So the last 3-4 weeks has been filled with packing up our posessions, moving halfway across the country, finding a new place to live, and starting a new job. No longer based in Ohio, I've accepted a position at Luther College in Iowa as the new Project Cataloging Archivist.

This will mean that I probably won't be blogging as frequently as I was in October, but hopefully will try to write at least once or twice a month.

That being said, I am elated to be at Luther and I look forward to the many new experiences I'll have and I'm sure it will help this blog become a bit broader in scope!
