Kelly And the Scanner


Kelly was the second person after Toby that I met, and it was really interesting meeting. First she told me about herself, that she did liberal studies but later she realized that was not for her. Then she introduced me to the book scanner. To be honest that was the first time I saw that machine, and i was really surprised by how it works. Kelly showed me how she scan books. I must appreciate how hard her tasks are and how much energy she puts in. Sometimes she has to stand on the top pf the book scan machine and turn pages and look for any mistakes that a machine might cause. Well, according to her, a machine is just a machine, and it can create a error. After book scanning her work involves revising and editing to clear any mistakes and make it ready to be publish online. Recently she is doing a project which is to gather books that were published before 1923, and her time limit is 18 months. Well I wish her best of luck for her project.
