example EXAMPLE from the Judy Chicago Audiotape Collection:
...
Fully catalog each item in AV/DC tracker first; then you can then transform that data into EAD. . If you have a number of items you are unsure about keeping; have an appraisal meeting with Joanne Donovan before updating data in the database.
(Joanne do you have instructions about what data to put where in the database, or do you want to write some that are appropriate here?)
Does Joanne want to review the data before it gets transformed? How should this occur?
When you are finished, you should transform the spreadsheet data into XML to be added to your finding aid.
See instructions here: G:\SCHLES\COLLECTION SERVICES\AUDIOVISUAL\AV cataloging\Creating inventory with EAD tags from spreadsheets
***OLD***
If more than around 10 items, create a spreadsheet with the basic information on each tape. Initial transcription of the data can easily be done by a student. A sample spreadsheet can be found at G:\SCHLES\COLLECTION SERVICES\AUDIOVISUAL\AV cataloging\AV_InventoryTemplate.xlsx (JOANNE IS WORKING ON FINALIZING THIS - AND POSSIBLY FINAL VERSION WILL HAVE TAGS IN THERE ALREADY)
