Reminder: Third of iDigBio's vertebrate digitization webinars is Sept
22, featuring Chris Phillips (Illinois Natural History Survey) on The
Value of Digitizing Herpetology Collections. See below for details on
logging in. No registration required.
iDigBio's Vertebrate Digitization Interest Group is pleased to offer a
4-part webinar series entitled The Value of Digitizing Vertebrate
Collections, all to be held on Tuesdays in September, 3:00-4:00 p.m.
EDT. These will be the first four of several webinars leading up to a
second iDigBio-sponsored vertebrate digitization workshop to be held
spring 2016. The purpose of this first series of four is to outline the
value and importance of digitizing vertebrate collections, including
herps, mammals, birds, and fishes, with an emphasis on imaging. The
target audience includes vertebrate zoologists, curators, collections
managers, and others interested in vertebrate digitization. As defined
for these webinars, digitization includes the transcription of label
data into electronic records, production of one or more 2D or 3D images
per selected specimen, the potential enrichment of label data (e.g.
appending georeferences and/or links to catalogs, journals, and other
source materials), and making transcribed data and associated images
available via the web.
All webinars are 3-4 p.m. EDT and accessible at
