I like this argument You wouldn't put the paper records into the IT
department. The database is just a different format of the same
information and plan to use it!

Subject: Re: TMS management: Registrar or IT?
Your question assumes the TMS manager is not the
registrar/curator/collections manager! I think in most institutions the
computer database manager wears many hats.
But I would think the database manager should report to the registration
department with close ties to IT. The program is very specific to the
departments who use it. And you wouldn't want the TMS manager to be
pulled to other IT projects which would most likely happen if they
reported to that department. Also, the database is just digital
collections records which would fall squarely into the registration
department. You wouldn't put the paper records into the IT department.
The database is just a different format of the same information.
My two cents,
Michelle

Hi all,
Quick survey for TMS managers:
Do you report to Registrar? Collections Management? Curatorial?
Information Technology?
What are the pros and cons of managing TMS from within each of these
different departments?
Thanks for any feedback -
Happy Holidays!
Jeri
