New digital MF camera

Our new digital microfilm planetary Zeutschel camera was installed last week. This expensive, state-of-the-art equipment arrived in various large, well wrapped boxes which occuppied a lot of space in the Clarke's back hall and Microfilming/Digitizing unit for a few weeks. It took all day for the tech man to assemble it. He broke a cord in the process, so now we must wait for a replacement. The old camera was so huge that you couldn't open/close the door all the way to get in or out of the filming room. My students and I took 4 large carts of recycling to the recycling dumpster late Fri to clear the hall. There are still 2 large wooden boxes and some plastic packing pieces to remove. The largest wooden box remaining in the hall is adult coffin-size. Last week I was so busy I couldn't even blog until now. I have 5 new students I trained and lots of ongoing and new work. We got new webpages, so are still adjusting to them. We also had COVID-impact last week, so I had my first test. I really appreciate all the health care people helping everyone during COVID.
