As the person in charge of the audio-visual unit of the Library, I
report to the Chief Librarian. She in turn reports to the Dean of
Academic Affairs.

We are located in a separate building from the library but at one time
were housed in the lower
level of the library. Because of flooding issues we were moved to a
separate building back in 1989.

I supervise two full-time people; one Office Assistant, one Library
College Lab Tech as well as 5 part-time college assistants, and 5

Subject: [Videolib] "Video librarians" on the organizational chart

My Library Director is "restructuring" my job (I think this is code for
trying to make me so miserable I leave, so they can replace me with
someone younger and cheaper, but that's another story). She hasn't
asked my input, but I want to be ready with my comments when the plan is
finally revealed. Currently I report to the Head of Media Services, and
work in the Media Services Center. Much has been made of the fact that
I am the only "nontechnical" staff member in a department of 5. I

My questions: who do other academic video librarians report to?
Are you located in a Media Services Center, or in the
Library?
do you supervise other staff?
if you work in a Media Services Center, how much do you
participate in equipment circulation, instruction, or production?

Thanks for any information. I feel under siege!
