[Genealib] Salary / Job Definition Clarification

[LIPS0160 at aol.com]

I was wondering if anyone could tell me if there are a list of standards  for 
salaries for Genealogical Librarianship out there?  I am a Genealogist  
currently working on my Librarianship certification and I work in the local  
history section of a local public library - no one seems to be sure of what my  
compensation should be.  
 
I work alone most of the time on organizational projects (before I came,  
nothing was indexed), teach and direct patrons in our Genealogy Club (I also  
research new resources for the club) and give one on one instruction /  
consultation (30 minute sessions) to patrons and non-patrons evaluating  their research 
during regular hours.  I am also responsible for archiving /  maintaining 
vertical files (newspaper, family histories, area older  buildings histories, 
cemetery burial indexes, obituaries and maps).   Occasionally, I conduct 
reference interviews to patrons who walk in off the  street and need to know - or are 
curious as to what we have to offer.  I  also transcribe into Microsoft ACCESS 
obituaries and oral history interviews, as  well as do town research and 
genealogical research for library special  projects.
 
Is there a resource that I can access to help straighten this out? Is there  
anyone out there who does what I do? Do I fit into any special category or am 
I  an anomaly? 
 
Thank you for any replies.
Leslie
