*The Value of the Symbiota Portal and Database for Small Collections
**15 December 2014*
*2:00-3:00 p.m. EST*
*Virtual meeting place:*https://idigbio.adobeconnect.com/scnet
*The Value of the Symbiota Portal and Database for Small Collections*
*Presenter:*Ed Gilbert, Arizona State University
*Description:*Managing and maintaining collections databases in the face 
of little IT support or cyber infrastructure is a significant challenge 
for small collections. Symbiota portal software and its underlying 
database has proven a useful tool for surmounting these hurdles, 
especially for herbaria and entomological collections.  Wholly online, 
with no local software to install, Symbiota supports online entry or 
batch uploads of data, image storage and display, and tools that allow 
collections managers to control access by data technicians. This webinar 
will present an introduction to Symbiota, including how curators and 
collections managers can take advantage of existing Symbiota networks.


Attendance is open to all.
