Now that ADBC is in its sixth year and the number of institutions digitizing collections has expanded exponentially, many collections are using past experiences and future needs to refine digitization goals. In this session, we will discuss and reflect on how institutions prioritize digitization activities. What factors go into making selections about which specimens to digitize next?
