Our database contains tens of thousands of active stock items. Each item has a variety of information that needs to be kept up to date to ensure the best information for our staff and customers.

We would like to collaborate with students in data entry.

This will involve several different steps for the students, including:

• Familiarizing themselves with our database structure.
• Transferring data into our databases efficiently.
• Verifying the accuracy of the data in our databases and making relevant updates.
• Organizing and retrieving data as requested.
• Auditing existing data to ensure missing data corrected
• Determine standard naming conventions, document, and implement.

Bonus steps in the process would also include:

• Documentation of anything learned into a policy or procedure for future reference.
• Assessing product pricing to competitors for update to database

By the end of the project, students should demonstrate:

• Familiarity with our databases
• Efficient data transfer
• Verification of data accuracy
• Organization and retrieval of data

Bonus steps would include:

• Assisting in creating new Policies

Final deliverables should include

• A 10-minute presentation.

Students will connect directly with us for mentorship throughout the project. We will be able to provide answers to questions such as:

• How our database functions
• Detail pros and cons of our system
• Input on choices, problems or anything else the students might encounter.
