Friends,
The database administrator's proposal was accepted by AAM and will be a double session in May. We are asking for your thoughts of what should be included.
Do you keep performance records and statistics? To what end, for whom, and how?
Can you share examples of statistics and performance data that are helpful to keep?
The session promises to be "A discussion of the responsibilities, challenges, training and recruitment of collection database administrators will demystify this often-misunderstood professional. The visionary database administrator opens new avenues of discovery as she/he stalks heretofore-unidentified data access points, traverses the jungles of muddled data conversion legacies, and captures the heart and imagination of computer phobic museum staff. The visionary database administrator defends data integrity, pursues new technologies, aggressively finds creative solutions to staff challenges, and seeks ways to make the database relevant to other users."
Have we missed anything that you would want to come away with from such a session?
Thanks in advance for your help --
