Mary,
Erin's response was thoughtful and complete, and should solve your problem.
My question is about the problem itself. I find myself wondering which
program allows its graduates to leave it sheltering arms so underprepared
for the field? Is this a graduate or undergraduate program; certificate or
full degree?

We are hiring a new graduate from a museum studies program to do
cataloguing of a collection that includes art, artifacts, and archives. We
also are purchasing Embark software for the cataloguing. I would like to
hear suggestions as to how to minimize supervisory time and have her learn
the program and cataloguing process on her own. Her degree seems to give
her a good foundation but during school they did not do any actual
cataloguing or learn about any of the available programs.
