When notified that files have been ftp'ed:
- When you receive notices from Proquest, first insure that they were able to successfully transfer all of the files. If some transfers fail, they'll likely try again the next day. Wait until you have all the files before beginning work on a set. Be sure to keep track of what you have already loaded and what you haven't loaded. Enter the date range last done to keep track of where we are: -9/11/09.
- If haven't already done so, give Lindsey copies of everything from your PDF and XML folders for the ContentDM backup. Then delete any old content from your ETD folder.
