NDNP Quality Review: Workflow Post-digitization : 1.Copy batch from external hard drive 2.Validate and/or verify batch 3.Check batch name in batch.xml and batch_1.xml 4.Using the DVV: -Start and end of each reel, check: -Compare issue dates in batch to reel collation -TIFF, JP2, PDF images; OCR (all pages); Headers -LCCN, Institution, Institution MARC Code, Title in Headers and Metadata

NDNP Quality Review: Workflow Post-digitization, continued : 5. Review all TIFF images -Compare date, volume/issue numbers, edition and section labels in metadata to what is printed on the page -View thumbnails for each issue -OCR: Check 10% or one page per issue -Compare OCR text and accuracy percentage to image 6. Compile a list of corrections. Send to vendor or complete in-house.

NDNP Quality Review: Workflow Post-digitization, continued : 7. QC Corrected batch 8. Validate and copy to external hard drive. Verify! 9. Compare number of PDF, JP2, and TIFF files. Numbers should match! 10. Compare number of issues in batch.xml to directory issues in the batch. Numbers should match!

Tip: Know Your Microfilm * Careful review of microfilm and collation of data can reduce errors in your batch prior to quality review.

Collation Spreadsheet Page counts are automatically calculated using Excel formulas.

Collation Spreadsheet Anomalies: Reel Information:

Tip: Allow Your Workflow to Evolve * Incorporate checks for unanticipated errors into your workflow. Example: OCR Solution: 10% instead of random check exposed truncated OCR files! Problem: Incomplete OCR files

Tip: Document Your Workflow Digital Projects Unit Wiki * Documentation prevents memory lapses and insures consistency between projects.

A few more tips! * Speed through the DVV using Automated Keyboard shortcuts Free, open-source utility for Windows * Consult the NDNP wiki for sage advice, ask questions, learn from each other
