Not much to report at the ol' WVU Press lately. I've been working to finish up editing those maps of Africa. I would just like to say it is taking me so long to finish them because I can only work with them one day per week. The reason for this is because other interns work at the computer I need to use to edit the maps, which is the only one connected to a scanner. This makes it difficult to get my work done, it is even more difficult when I have to save the work I do in several different places on the computer because the web server is full or something similar. Either way, I only have a few more days left at the Press before it's poster presentation time.
I've been bouncing around a few ideas for my poster presentation in terms of layout. I know I'm going to include the map project and what I did to the website and my image searches for the content, that is a no-brainer. I'll also include a professional statement and an explanation of what goes on the Press because I don't think many people know what it is, exactly. Someone actually said to me the other day, "Oh, so you guys actually publish books there? I didn't know that." I'm not sure what people think the WVU Press does. Either way, I'm going to work on formulating a game plan for how I want my poster to look this week.
Oh, and the title of this post comes from my boss's daughter, who is apparently going to be the next great writer of Elizabethian poetry.

Cool idea for the title of this post.
ReplyDeleteJust like you, I've had some difficulties finishing work at the RMHC office because none of the computers have the software I need to complete my projects. So,I just bring my own laptop in to the House.
Hang in there. And, remember to refer back to the poster presentations that we looked over in class for help if you need it.
Good luck with your poster design and layout!
Amber,
ReplyDeleteThat would definately make it harder when you can't have the computer to do your work on at any time, but it sounds like you are getting it done and doing well anyway. I have been moving everywhere lately in different offices, because different people come in, and they just recently hired a new guy. So, that means intern musical chairs. Lol
Nothing you can do about it, Amber, but it sounds as if the Press might benefit from purchasing another scanner -- maybe there's a grant application to write in another PWE intern's future!
