Launched in 2011 as a collaboration between the University of Florida and Florida State University, iDigBio employs approximately 30 staff, ranging from professional biologists and computer scientists to post-doctoral associates and graduate students. In this session we provide an overview of biodiversity specimen digitization and data mobilization, how digitized data benefits the natural sciences, the strategies iDigBio and its 300 collaborating institutions use in their work, the resources iDigBio makes available to biologists, ecologists, environment educators, and the general public, and an example of how one Iowa-based  ADBC project is utilizing digitization funding to make specimen data more widely available.},

currently over 45 million records, the digitization of biodiversity
specimens provides a huge data store which can be an excellent
resource. Join us as we show you what information is available, how it
can be used in interpretive programs and how iDigBio{\textquoteright}s education and
outreach program can benefit state park interpretation.},
