Google Analytics

I don't know a whole lot about XSL stylesheets, but I had a hankering to get some tracking information on our finding aids. It turns out that it is very easy to add the GA code to a stylesheet. I tend to get a bit geeky about statistics, especially use statistics, so the promise of extra knowledge is making me darn near jittery with excitement.


Oooh, and I passed the exam by 18 points! Bombed the preservation and protection domain, though. That's embarrassing given that I'm on the board of a preservation organization, but I'll get over it. I would never trust myself to set up temp and Rh parameters without a lot of research anyway.

Passed!

According to an email from the ACA, I passed. I'm not quite sure I'll believe it until I see the hard copy, but I'm excited right now. I finished my processing job as well, so it's been a good couple of days.

Fun with folder titles

I was recently assigned what I thought would be a delightful little processing job, but my previous experience with late 20th century collections in no way prepared me for how long it takes to preservation photocopy 4 cubic feet of brittle paper with a photocopier that thinks it knows best (28.75 hours in case you were wondering). At any rate, I photocopied the last piece of dark, crumbly groundwood paper yesterday and now I'm numbering folders and entering the titles into Archivists' Toolkit. It's so much fun to see it all come together and know that I was responsible for all of it!

Moved that map case, too. Now I just have to move some other things and fill it up.
