Summer 2014 Network Indexing Coordinator proposal

FACTsnet is hoping to hire a student to fill the position of Network Indexing Coordinator (title?) for its summer 2014 iteration. As the team member responsible for most initiatives in this area during 2013, I have proposed the following projects and duties for the position.

• Find and implement a user-friendly 'archive' function accessible from anywhere in the FACTSnet system 
• Identify key information - both for individual blogs and network-wide - to be included in an indexing system
• Create a consistent indexing system accessible from anywhere in the FACTSnet system
• Create an online data storage system for old posts and information that is viewable only by FACTSnet network members

The primary objective of this position should be to improve the user-friendliness of the network in a way that is consistent with current technology, but efficient and in keeping with FACTSnet professional standards.
