Hi Maureen, Does anyone *have* a job description anymore? I'm kind of intrigued by the idea! I don't think I've had an updated one since I started working at Hofstra 11 years ago. Over that time, I have taken on more roles (copyright, film/media) and I'm about to incorporate Interlibrary Loan under the Access Services umbrella... all just to say that my job is pretty much "get all the things to all the people as quickly and conveniently as possible!!"

We're combining our service desks into one Frankendesk--so I'm losing the desk operations/student staff supervisory parts of my job. Are there any academic media librarians (who don't supervise a desk) out there who would be willing to share their job descriptions with me? The operations/supervision stuff made up about 40 per cent of my job duties, so I need to find more stuff to do!

It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
