Jerrie:  See curator and collections manager sections in Museums: A
Place to Work by Jan Glaser and A. Zenetou.  I can also send you a copy
of my job description noting primary duties and responsibilities.
Please send me your snail mail.  If the Glaser book is not handy, I can
send along copies of these sections.
