*OnContract*

Are you a consultant, a contract registrar, or a freelance collection 
manager?  Participating in OnContract can be beneficial in securing a 
project job for you.

Anyone, whether an ARCS member or not, seeking a contractor in the field 
may search our database without charge.  This feature is similar to “find 
an appraiser” or “find a conservator” on the respective websites of those 
professions. 

ARCS is about to send out our first general announcement on all our social 
media resources (FaceBook, LinkedIn, Twitter, RC-AAM listserv, Museum-L, 
MCN-L, etc.) letting the broader field know that OnContract at ARCSinfo.org 
is an available resource.

If you would like to be listed (for a nominal annual fee) click the 
OnContract button on the top menu bar at ARCSinfo.org or if you have yet to 
renew your membership the 2016 calendar year, click the Membership Renewal 
button at the top right of your home page after you sign in.

You must upload a copy of your resume in PDF format in order to participate 
in this service.* 

If you have trouble signing up for OnContract, please let us know by email 
at arcs4...@gmail.com, using the subject line OnContract. If the directions 
aren’t clear, please let us know that, too.

*A resume is required because ARCS does not have an accreditation process 
for individuals who choose to offer their services.  The resume or CV 
provides the potential employer a means by which to match experience and 
qualifications with job requirements.

Subject: [MCN-L] Controlled vocabulary for view description

Hello,
Does anyone have a controlled vocabulary for a view description field? Or can 
anyone point me to a resource for such a vocabulary/taxonomy? We want to clean 
up our data and make it more consistent across the board. We currently have a 
short list (recto, verso, full view, detail), and then photographers can 
manually enter others that are more specific (full view front, full view side 
proper left, etc.) and have ended up with a hodgepodge of values.

Many thanks,
Kate Mayo

Hi Sarah,
Good point! Thanks for raising it. I was talking about the Art

For those responding to the interoperability questions, please consider
naming your institution in your reply.  I'm finding the replies very
interesting but can't always figure out where they are coming from.

Thanks,
