ABSTRACT: A model classification for media
paraprofessionals
was constructed in order to establish salaries, personnel
qualifications, useful training programs, administrative
procedures, and standardized terminology. An analysis was
made of such job elements as type of work, its difficulty
and responsibility, supervisory responsibility,
administrative responsibility, personal contacts, and
working conditions. The classification plan was developed
based on several levels of competence in each of four
classes: media center clerical, film library clerical and
technical, media preparation and reproduction, and media
technical and maintenance. This resulted in 29 separate
positions for which job descriptions were developed-
including the title, basic job concept, duties and
responsibilities, required knowledge or skills, experience,
education, and desirable personal characteristics.
Affirmative action, training programs, opportunities for
promotion, and plans for developing media training
curricula
were considered, and brief recommendations for executing
the
plan were formulated. (LS)
