[Nhcoll-l] Two interesting reports emanating from BCoN or BCoN sponsored workshops

[Bentley, Andrew Charles]

The Biodiversity Collections Network<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__bcon.aibs.org_&d=AwIFAw&c=-dg2m7zWuuDZ0MUcV7Sdqw&r=CLFZJ3fvGSmDp7xK1dNZfh6uGV_h-8NVlo3fXNoRNzI&m=nfq-MofMGsmywnqUB78aAPRYUEF48Pr3GP5WTmOEMJY&s=Uf0WexXzcA0dQ8R-Hvfhcu4MmN3EloNOOeTIh9ZAPJY&e= > (BCoN) is a five-year national initiative funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.nsf.gov&d=AwIFAw&c=-dg2m7zWuuDZ0MUcV7Sdqw&r=CLFZJ3fvGSmDp7xK1dNZfh6uGV_h-8NVlo3fXNoRNzI&m=nfq-MofMGsmywnqUB78aAPRYUEF48Pr3GP5WTmOEMJY&s=n8HgKKgMrRgLGcHuG9OIvu2YNiyfboROa3wHhfi6akU&e= > (NSF) to support the development of a new, sustainable community of practice that will ensure that all U.S. biodiversity collections are digitally available for research, education, informed decision-making, and other scholarly and creative activities.  It is being jointly administered by NSCA, AIBS and SPNHC.

One of the mechanisms being used to accomplish these goals is through workshops and reports from two such workshops have recently become available.

The first was a Collections Communication workshop hosted by BCoN.  The report from the workshop can be found here:  https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__bcon.aibs.org_resources_collections-2Dcommunications-2Dworkshop-2Dreport_&d=AwIFAw&c=-dg2m7zWuuDZ0MUcV7Sdqw&r=CLFZJ3fvGSmDp7xK1dNZfh6uGV_h-8NVlo3fXNoRNzI&m=nfq-MofMGsmywnqUB78aAPRYUEF48Pr3GP5WTmOEMJY&s=ADW4OmkEjpJUyUOQI0WqBpFctBy2ScJgveJ1kyKyZAQ&e= 

The second was a workshop co-sponsored by BCoN on Education and Training Issues related to Biodiversity Informatics needs.  The report can be found here:  https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.aibs.org_public-2Dpolicy_news_addressing-5Fbiological-5Finformatics-5Fworkforce-5Fneeds.html&d=AwIFAw&c=-dg2m7zWuuDZ0MUcV7Sdqw&r=CLFZJ3fvGSmDp7xK1dNZfh6uGV_h-8NVlo3fXNoRNzI&m=nfq-MofMGsmywnqUB78aAPRYUEF48Pr3GP5WTmOEMJY&s=N4T8rHJs4UrBotrotssFkTe9tHVjAoFzjmLJ21jXVss&e= 

I would encourage all to become involved in BCoN by going to the website and signing up for updates.
