Something a little fun about digi pres and archives job titles 🙂

Subject: [NEW-MEDIA-CURATING] Study: digital curation jobs doubled in 2022
Happy New Year,
I thought some of you in the curation biz would be interested in an
analysis I posted last week of openings listed on Twitter that found an
explosion last year of digital curation jobs--and their titles. In 2021 I
shared a running joke here that no two titles are the same, and it still
holds: three-quarters of the 2022 position titles were unique. That's 367
different names; it's hard for me to imagine an AI coming up with that
many, much less human employers.
Among the more exotic titles were Hidden Collections Processing
Coordinator, Peoples Archive Manager, and Change Management Professional.
This year's titles saw an uptick in certain phrases, including "genealogy,"
"steward," "applications development," and "data curation."
Another trend that doesn't seem to be going away: the overlap of digital
skills is blending previously separate disciplines, as reflected in
portmanteau titles such as Archive Curator, Digital Archives Librarian, and
Special Collections Instruction Librarian and Curator. More at
https://blog.still-water.net/digital-curation-jobs-more-than-doubled-in-2022
I did the analysis for UMaine's online graduate Digital Curation program.
(Still seats available for anyone who wants to join me in our digital
preservation class starting 18 January.)
Cheers,
jon
