Strategies for Vertebrate Digitization Workshop
Workshop
iDigBio and the EMu NHSIG in Philadelphia
iDigBio was delighted with Axiell's generous invitation to present a half-day digitization workshop at the annual meeting of the EMu user group Natural History Special Interest Group (NHSIG), held October 7 at the Penn Museum in Philadelphia. After determining via survey what EMu users would be interested in hearing about, we fashioned the following well-received agenda:
Organization for Biological Field Stations and iDigBio team up for digitization workshop at the OBFS annual meeting
Digitizing Fluid-preserved Vertebrate Specimens
This is an invited, product-oriented workshop focused on strategies for digitizing fluid-preserved vertebrate specimens. Recommended practices and next steps will be major outcomes.
