Enjoyed learning more about the Zooniverse platform from the Van Hyning et al article. Fascinated by the “cognitive surplus” discussion. I’ll have to watch the Shirky TED Talk! #NLDigIntern

@taypaigey_ @SarahBeee2 Can definitely get much more done when not on a Netflix binge!

The Holley article mentions the description/cataloging of photos as a possible crowdsourcing goal. I think that, as we can see from our classifying work, capturing the subject or “aboutness” of visual objects can often be quite challenging and somewhat subjective. #NLDigIntern

Spent my morning doing some archival research at the gorgeous Henry B. Plant Museum at the University of Tampa, formerly the Tampa Bay Hotel.

I spent many happy hours in this beautiful building! @BPLBoston #nldigintern

Hi everyone, I’m Mindy. I’m in my last semester of my MLIS program at USF Tampa. I’m currently a GA at USF coordinating a digitization project of our Foundation’s research library. Excited to be working on the #NLDigIntern project!
