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.
