Global Discoverability/ is ideally suited for natural history 
collections specialists aiming to increase the /research readiness/ of 
their biodiversity data at a global scale.

  * Have you found yourself in situations where you need to manage
    larger quantities of collection records, or encounter challenges in
    carrying out updates or quality checks?
  * Do you mainly use spreadsheets (such as Excel) to clean and manage
    specimen-level data sets before uploading them into your collections
    database?
  * /*Skill level: *The workshop is most appropriate for those who are
    relatively new to collections data management and are motivated to
    provide the global research community with accessible, standards-
    and best practices-compliant biodiversity data./

*Funding and Logistics: *There are some funds to support travel this 
workshop. Rooms have been reserved with a group rate for those who 
travel from out-of-town for this workshop. All materials and recordings 
will be available after the workshop for others to use at their local 
institutions. There is no tuition for this course.
