[Nhcoll-l] Please join us next Wednesday, May 26, for a webinar on entomology digitization workflows

[Erica Krimmel]

Please join us on *Wednesday, May 26, 2:00-3:00pm Eastern* for a
webinar on *BugFlow:
A Community-Driven Repository for Entomology Digitization Resources.*

After 10 years of concentrated efforts in entomological collections
digitization, the BugFlow group is updating entomology digitization
workflow modules and publishing them as a versionable resource on
GitHub (*https://entcollnet.github.io/BugFlow
<https://entcollnet.github.io/BugFlow>*). In addition to updating these
modules, BugFlow is capturing the methods and practices used to do this
work and incorporate new versioning and metadata practices for workflows
developed using these modules. The GitHub repository
(*https://github.com/EntCollNet/BugFlow
<https://github.com/EntCollNet/BugFlow>*) will serve as a central
clearinghouse for exemplar digitization workflows, and the BugFlow group
will endeavor to produce versions in multiple languages to support wider
adoption and ease-of-use. BugFlow aims to improve the sustainability of
digitization activities, and reduce duplication of effort in the
development of new workflows. Join BugFlow presenters for a webinar that
will include an overview of the project as well as a demo of how you can
contribute by adding your own institution-specific workflows to the GitHub
repository. BugFlow encourages participation in this initiative from
contributors globally, and those who would like to be involved should
contact the group by joining the GitHub repository.

This event is brought to you by iDigBio and the Terrestrial Parasite
Tracker TCN. More information, including the Zoom link and a recording
