Q1 2025: Requests for updates to Herbarium Workflow Guides

[PipBrewer]

PLEASE NO MORE ADDITIONS TO THIS TICKET
further additions can be added to the next ticket for Q2 2025: #175

Please add requests for updates to the digitisation guides and workflows to this ticket.

These will be addressed and prioritised on a quarterly basis.

Next review will be in December 2024 / early January 2025 for implementation of agreed updates starting in January 2025.
Discussed at digitizer meeting 10.12.2024.

The following updates were decided:

• incorporate loco ignoto vel cult. Registering cultivated specimens in the digi app #124
• add emptying desktop trashcans to workflow
• incorporate new protocol for several species on 1 sheet Slight change to herbarium protocol #160
• update N-Drive structure
• new MOS procedure
• create checklist for barcoding and place at Herb stations

Once these updates are incorporated and the updated versions of the guides distributed, this ticket can be closed.

Additionally it was decided that a shorter, more concise guide would be good for everyday use,
I created a separate ticket for this: #174

Last Q, we discussed the idea of creating quick guides in addition to the long guides.

[RebekkaML]

Add emptying of trashcan on the imaging computers, when they are full they can take up a lot of space, so we should empty them regularly, maybe once a week? Or just every day so it is easier to incorporate into our workflow.

[RebekkaML]

Incorporate #160

[RebekkaML]

Do we have short checklists for this yet, and are they printed out and placed at both Herbarium stations?
There is a checklist for imaging, but as far as I can see we don't have one for barcoding yet.

I don't believe we do, but it is a good idea :)

[RebekkaML]

The guides have been updated and the new versions placed here: N:\SCI-SNM-DigitalCollections\DaSSCo\Workflows and workstations\Herbarium sheets\Production\Guides\Master

Once they are printed and distributed to the workstations (and the quick checklist has been made) this issue can be closed.

[RebekkaML]

The new guides have been placed at both Herbarium workstations now. The only thing missing now is the quick barcoding checklist.
