UPDATE: Found someone. I’ll explain more about this when we’ve got the finished product up. Thanks, everyone…
For a project we’ve got going on at NYPL, I need to get about 1200 references from spreadsheets into Zotero; I’m figuring it’s generously maybe 15-20 hours of work, since roughly half are represented in NYPL’s catalog (and thus are easy fodder for ingesting). I’ve been asking around, and keep coming up short…anyone out there in the blogosphere want to do a little freelancing or have a student who they’d like to refer? Timeframe is very short (ideally within a week turnaround, maybe two)…if interested, leave a comment below and I’ll e-mail regarding money stuff.

I’m pinging a couple students from my class last semester. With any luck I’ll turn somebody up for you!
Hey Josh,
I know Kari E. who was in my Impacts class and I believed emailed you was very keen to work at the NYPL. Why don’t you drop her a line?
Happy New Year,
Biella
I’d be more than glad to…
Feel free to shoot me an email.
Do you have my email?
I think you probably do… if not, feel free to comment back here and I’ll send it on to you.
Hi there!
Dorothea referred me to your project.
I would love to jump in and help out, but my wife and I are expecting and the due date is but a few days away. Thus, I might not be able to get on board until Wednesday or Thursday of NEXT week (Jan. 16 – 17). I assume you hope to be done before then, but if not, please drop me a line.
Thanks!

where are the results of this work?
Hi, did you look at Mendeley (http://www.mendeley.com)? Any thoughts?
