[OLAC-credits] Looking for help with directors

[Kelley McGrath]

I replied to Susan off-list earlier, but I did want to let everyone know that there is now a link to some South Slavic credits at http://tinyurl.com/qbe3ld2 now. We are in good shape with German, but we do need help with French, Italian and *English* at  http://tinyurl.com/oc27ng6

Some people have had trouble with the tinyurl links. The full URL is https://docs.google.com/document/d/167970AJ3HoPO-ajXWRYzkqmggOmedkGeEM1KWP2taeQ/

You do have to fill out "done" in the spreadsheet yourself. Depending on your browser, you may have to double-click in the box before you can start typing.

Thank you to everyone who has been helping with the credits! Hope you all have a great weekend!

PS If you have student circ desk workers or other staff looking for a project, feel free to pass this on. Our student workers have been making a great contribution.

Hi Kelley,

I did some Russian credits from the spreadsheet. When I go back to the credits marked done the web form doesn’t reflect the changes that were made. Is that ok?

I know that the Hungarian credits are done. What about Slavic languages other than Russian? Is German finished too?

Thanks,

Susan

Apologies for the long silence. We went to Japan to visit my husband's family for a couple weeks and then the OLAC conference came right on the heels of my return. I hope to catch my breath soon. I just sent the message below to the OLAC list and if any of you would like to help with this, that would be great. Our circ students are also helping so if you are looking for a project for your circ students, point them to the spreadsheets.

As some of you know from my presentation at the OLAC conference, I'm looking for people to help with annotating a bunch of credits that I think are for directors as part of the OLAC Movie & Video Credit Annotation Experiment. I need the information about directors in particular for a project to try to cluster works. We were working on a more automated way to do this, but have had a significant setback.

Could you help by annotating some credits that I think are for directors? There are some links to credits in various languages that I think are about directors at http://tinyurl.com/oc27ng6 Click on the link for one of the languages. There are LOTS of English ones so you don't need to be able to translate. If you want to work on a language not listed, email me at kelleym at uoregon.edu

The link will take you to a google docs spreadsheet with links to individual credits. Just click on a link to a credit, annotate the credit that opens in a new window, close the new window and mark that credit as "done" in the status column.

Thank you in advance for your help and let me know if you have any questions.

Kelley
