<strong>Presenter: Leila Siciliano-Martina (Label
Transcriptionist), Richard Rabeler (University of
Michigan) and Ed Gilbert (Symbiota)</strong><br>
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.</p>
