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!

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,

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!
