Art and Art History Department
Full-Time, Fixed-Term, From 9/1/07 - 6/30/08
Requisition Number (please reference): 1000275
Purpose:
The digital image database/slide library manager will work with the faculty
in the Department of Art and Art History to plan and execute the transition
from slides to digital images. The digital images and their metadata will be
stored in the open source software called MDID (Madison Digital Image
Database). The department has recently purchased two new servers and
extensive SAN storage to house the MDID in IT. Our goal is to create a
searchable on-line digital image database. All art history faculty now use
digital images for at least some of their classes and most hope to use
digital images exclusively by September 2008. The digital image
database/slide library manager will have to successfully balance the
following tasks: 1) create a relational database to store image metadata; 2)
meet fluctuating demand for new digital images and metadata and enter into
MDID; 3) create metadata for backlog of scanned digital images and enter
into MDID; 4) train student assistants to create digital images and
associated metadata from slides and other sources.
