I cannot offer any paid opportunity to your volunteer-cataloguer but I can suggest you him / her to examine the question I asked in the Association for Project Management Community Forum (at http://www.apm.org.uk/community/q-and-a/data-management). In about one week nobody (nobody!) has provided any answer so far: what do you think differentiate data project management from other [project management] sectors in a peculiar way?
And that in spite of the impressive curriculum of projects many have been managing in this Country for two decades now, only think about the NHS electronic records projects!
So in other terms I would reccomend to cataloguers (and to myself as well!) to answer this question: is there any skill of yours you are able to adapt, transfer and transform for achievements of business benefits in contexts other than libraries?
I think that employment and / or business opportunities are pretty much related to our ability to deal with / to answer the above question.
Success may depend on a number of factors, not just individual or organisational excellence, but unless you try (and you analyse and expose the results to a community of possibly honest peers) you will never know your potentials.
Best Wishes
