Database Customization
Hi Museum Pros,
I recently was hired for my first museum job, it's a summer student position helping with database customization for a local archive. I have to do data consistency checks, test the functions of the database, and public access tasks including review of the current data, as well as some photography with a DSLR camera.
I mentioned in the interview that I have no background in database customization, my most similar job experience was grading student work within a preexisting database. I mentioned that while I am comfortable within my computer skills I anticipate a learning curve (one that I am prepared to tackle). I also have no experience with DSLR cameras, which I also mentioned.
Does anyone have any homework for me? I want to buff up my archival skillset so I can hit the ground running, as much as possible.
