What experience would be helpful for Digital Asset Management in a corporate company? (Knowledge Manager, Corporate Librarian)
Hello. I'm a undergraduate sophomore, seeking advice from MLIS holders and Library Professionals. I'm interested in DAM, being a Knowledge Manager. It's not a path talked about and I want guidance of what to do to move into the career. Knowledge Management appeals to me, as someone that likes self-directed "librarian" type work, but does not want to get a master's to become a librarian (university, public) role. My degree is focused in digital media. I currently have 2 internships, and 2 years left. I want to steer my career path in the new direction: Knowledge Management / Digital Asset Management for corporate. I mostly want to know, if someone could answer all questions in the same reply: • What domains should an undergraduate look into for a corporate career: Project Management, Data Analysis, Business Analyst pathway, - OR - all of the above? • What types of internships should a undergraduate student look for to develop business administration skills for the DAM / Knowledge path? • If a student is aiming for corporate - not - standard librarianship, is it worth it to get a MLIS - Master of Library and Information Science? • What is the best way to learn cataloging, metadata, or taxonomy in undergrad? - I have two years left, and interested in any certifications, YouTube videos, or resources available for these topics.
