we decided to take part in the fun. We snapped a photo of State Librarian MaryKay Dahlgreen next to the bound volumes of the Oregon Historical Quarterly in the Reference Room, and some of the library staff who were available late on a Friday afternoon came
together to take a picture in front of that collection (top row, L to R: Ferol Weyand, Jey Wann, Katie Anderson, Jessica Rondema, Robin Speer; bottom row, L to R: Arlene Weible, Deanne Smith, Heather Pitts, MaryKay Dahlgreen). We also got a couple shots of

State Library has partnered with another state agency to scan the historic Oregon Index cards. During the down-time cycles in their regular work load, Oregon Department of Revenue staff are using their high speed/high volume check scanner to scan the cards.
This project has provided Revenue staff the opportunity to learn more about the features of the scanner, improve their scanning skills, and tighten workflow processes. State Library staff members are thrilled to have forged such a beneficial partnership with
Revenue staff. It is expected that the contents of the 460 drawers will be scanned by the end of the summer. Each card image is saved in both TIF and JPG formats. The scanner prints a file name, containing drawer number and the sequential card number, on the
back of each card.</span></span><span style="font-size:14.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
