Dear Colleagues,
This message is being cross posted. Please excuse any
duplication.
For the past 4 years I have been head of both the Visual Resources
Library (slides, digital images, picture file) and the Videotape,
Film, and DVD Collection which are housed in two different
facilities. This summer we are moving to a new facility where both
units will be combined (my life will be so much easier!). I am
looking for a management model for combining these two facilities
into one. Has anyone had experience with this situation? If so, I
would like to know how you managed dividing the work among staff
members. Up until now each unit has had it's own coordinator who
has managed the collection as well as hire, train, and supervise
student assistants. As far as maintenance of the collections is
concerned I will keep each coordinator in charge of the same
materials each one has managed for 14 years. We will now have one
central circulation desk and each coordinator will be cross trained
in circulation procedures. I need some direction on dealing with
the hiring, supervising, etc. of the student workers. Does anyone
have experience with this?
Thank you,
Miranda Howard Haddock
