Suzanne and other interested parties: I have re-established my presence on the list and am indeed receiving messages about the question I posted concerning a job description for what we are currently calling a Multimedia Coordinator. I have received 2 responses and I would like to thank the people that replied. We are trying to make a distinction between archives and collections. We have staff who catalogue and store photographs, etc. in the Archives, but we do not have anyone in collections who is responsible for attaching/inputting artifact specific photographs, audio or video to the appropriate artifact record in our collections database. This person (who I hope, by the way, will be me, hence my interest in developing an appropriate job description) might one day also be responsible for coordinating the scanning of material in the hardcopy catalogue files (invoices, letters, newspaper clippings, etc.) and attaching them to the appropriate artifact file as well. While this later notion is years in the offing for us, the reality of it is feasible and would one day give our clients one stop shopping privileges to ALL relevant collections data. Hmmm, who was it that said technology would make our lives easier!?! Your continued involvement in our formation of a job description would be most appreciated. I will, of course, notify anyone who might be interested of the end results. I am certain this discussion will benefit more then just myself.
