Julian,
Wow - great web site!
This sounds like the job of a Chief
Information Officer.
You could be a Digital Assets Manager, but
that doesn't say much about collection information? Perhaps
Knowledge Management Officer? Too much jargon?
Fay Weldon once said something to the
effect that we shouldn't start calling actresses actors, we should just
realise that the people bearing the title have changed - dignify the
term. Would you prefer to just be called a Registrar, and let people know
that your job is diverse and deals with all the current issues?
Or would you prefer to be Collections
Information Manager, if this covers collection info in image form and on the
web?
Some random thoughts anyway. Hope
this helps.

Subject: Job Title
Dear Colleagues:
If I may borrow a moment of your time, I'd greatly appreciate your input in
regards to a matter that is most puzzling.
Currently, I am the Collections Database Manager as well as the Manager of
Digital Imaging. I maintain all the digital archives pertaining to the museum's
collection as well as update records of recent acquisitions. I also photograph
all new incoming gifts and past donations and am responsible for image
standards and file naming standards.
I have just been made responsible for managing content on our web site, and
troubleshooting and maintaining our in-house e-mail system.
And (I promise you this is no
joke), starting next year, I will be responsible maintaining the further
development of our web site and all web based projects.
While I am excited to do these many jobs, what title should I hold? I am most
perplexed.
Any and all comments are appreciated.
Thank you.
