that, but it is cumbersome as well, as you have to enter all the data. I think
no matter what you come up with, you are going to have a cumbersome system.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>I am keeping simple records in
an excel database, it seems to work for us. My conversion clerks write down
how much time they spend on each particular aspect (scanning, ocr,
text-cleanup) to the nearest 15-minutes. It gives me a pretty good read on how
long it takes to convert things, although I don’t really care as much about the
little parts as I do the big picture. Our goal here is a 4-day turnaround, and
if we make it within four days I’m happy, five days I’m satisfied, any more
than that and I’m looking to see where we can improve.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Garamond","serif"'>I’m
looking for advice or suggestions on creating a database for tracking e-text
production. We are working on one now within our office, but I am
concerned it is becoming cumbersome and labor intensive. Essentially we
are looking to record and store, completed text conversions, conversions in
progress, time spent per conversion & per editor. Any information
would be appreciated on or off the list.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
