If requested materials are really only ever retrieved by the Curator...probably there should be some time between searches. Not sure how you factor that. </div>

Just a broad outline, that would no doubt benefit from edit/revision by the group/those with more experimental design/statistics chops than me (likely to be 99 percent of this community). </div>

<p><span lang="EN-US">Hello everyone,</span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US">We need to calculate the time and effort spent by a curator to perform a given task. In our case, it would involve searching for a specimen in the collection, starting from the moment the query is answered, conducting a database search,
accessing the collection, locating the specimen, the curator returning to their workplace, and finally, providing an answer to the initial question.</span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US">I'm interested in learning if anyone has knowledge or experience with projects or reports that include this type of measurement, and to understand what methodologies or protocols have been utilized for its calculation.</span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US">Thank you very much in advance!</span></p>
