1 Herbarium Digitization Workshop Institute for Digital Information & Scientific Communication – Florida State University 1 Digitization Workflows Gil Nelson September 16-18, 2012 Valdosta State University

2 Herbarium Digitization Workshop Institute for Digital Information & Scientific Communication – Florida State University 2 The workflow documents and this presentation are located via the Wiki under Workflows and Protocols: https://www.idigbio.org/content/digitization-workflows Or, directly at: https://www.idigbio.org/content/workflow-modules-and-task-lists Conclusion of the Flat Sheets and Packets Workflow Working Group: There is no single, consensus workflow.

3 Herbarium Digitization Workshop Institute for Digital Information & Scientific Communication – Florida State University 3 Dimensions of Workflow Design Efficiency Contrasted with speed Reduce technician fatigue Maintain technician focus Optimize task execution times (time/motion) Record statistics Make adjustments Conservation of movement Positioning and compactness of work station components Left to right vs. right to left Starting and ending locations Proximity of equipment (including mouse)

4 Herbarium Digitization Workshop Institute for Digital Information & Scientific Communication – Florida State University 4 Elements of Workflow Design Follow a modular approach Plug and play modules Modules are often self-contained and independent There is no consensus workflow, virtually all workflows are customized Adjust to strengths of each technician (using students requires flexibility in duties assigned to personnel rather personnel assigned to position) Task Lists for each module Plug and play tasks Clear Succinct Ordered

5 Herbarium Digitization Workshop Institute for Digital Information & Scientific Communication – Florida State University 5 Dimensions of Workflow Design Multi-tasking Making the most of down time (regardless how long) Nesting shorter tasks (start one task, start another) Overcoming distractedness Workflow simulation and modeling Analyzing temporal juxtaposition of workflow task clusters Analyzing spatial juxtaposition of workflow task clusters Task list simulation and modeling

6 Herbarium Digitization Workshop Institute for Digital Information & Scientific Communication – Florida State University 6 Dimensions of Workflow Design Segmenting clusters and subroutines Standalone repetitive processes Barcoding Imaging Image processing Re-filing Conservation and repair Georeferencing OCR

7 Herbarium Digitization Workshop Institute for Digital Information & Scientific Communication – Florida State University 7 Documentation and Instructions Written Protocols Essential! Include pictures Attention to detail (leave nothing to the imagination) Express limits on technician authority Feedback Loops Technicians: best source of efficiency adaptations, either by show or tell Easy methods for receiving feedback Personal copies of the protocol Master copy available via Google docs for updates and suggestions
