[Nhcoll-l] Webinar: Insights into Inselect Software, Tuesday 29th March, 11 am EDT (4pm BST)

[Deborah Paul]

Hi Everyone,

Wondering about different ways you might capture and process images of 
vertebrates in drawers? Or perhaps figure out a new way to image slides 
and paleo specimens and get the data transcribed? Inselect software may 
give you some new options.

*Webinar*: I*nsights into Inselect Software: automating image 
processing, barcode reading, and validation of user-defined data*

This webinar will give an overview of the software, how it can be 
integrated into existing digitization workflows and a discussion of 
areas for development and possible future applications. The talk will be 
of interest to curators, digitizers and IT staff. Inselect is under 
active development - we are very excited to engage with the community 
and receive feedback and ideas.

*When:* Tuesday 29th March, 11 am EDT (4pm BST)
*Presenters:* Lawrence Hudson and Ben Price, Natural History Museum, London.
*Where*: https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__idigbio.adobeconnect.com_datamgmt&d=AwICaQ&c=-dg2m7zWuuDZ0MUcV7Sdqw&r=CLFZJ3fvGSmDp7xK1dNZfh6uGV_h-8NVlo3fXNoRNzI&m=o0C-Hbah5ahzL-lR4Sfo8Nw8jgQWW0nOcm5oCur5VpI&s=6tJ1idx8G4eFFg-MBiS5_U27ZWEe_FGnHhLdn4NOPpo&e= 
*Contact for questions*: Lawrence Hudson, Software Developer for 
Inselect l.hudson AT nhm.ac.uk

The software combines image processing, barcode reading, batch 
processing and validation of user-defined metadata to offer a high level 
of automation. Inselect has been used by curators and digitizers within 
the Natural History Museum, London, to process in excess of 100,000 
specimens so far and is presently being used by several institutions on 
*pinned insects, microscope slides, paleontological specimens, dried 
sponges and other specimen types.
