graduate students needed work to do. They worked on the project
more hours in most weeks than did their supervisors, leaving the
professional team members hard pressed to hone their own skills to
keep up with the graduate students. The students began selecting
materials and scanning materials before any of us were proficient in
using CONTENTdm and before we completed the configuration of the
MTSU Memory field structure. One example of the consequences: as
each record is created it is put in an approval queue to be reviewed
and approved by one of the librarians. If the librarian isn't able to keep
pace with the student, simple errors are repeated many times before
they are corrected, which exacts a toll in terms of time wasted on
corrections.
