*Presenter: Leila Siciliano-Martina (Label Transcriptionist), Richard

There is an art to transcribing labels and some initial learning curve 
issues arise as collections start this process for the first time. This 
is a "how to" webinar on transcribing labels. We will follow along as 
Leila Siciliano-Martina transcribes labels and details the top 10 "need 
to know" items when initiating this process. Rich Rabeler (University of 
Michigan) will speak to some collections challenges he has encountered 
when working on multi-institutional efforts to database collections. Ed 
Gilbert (Symbiota) will be on hand to answer questions about the 
Symbiota platform. This webinar is designed to assist collections in 
first steps of digitizing data.
