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

[Deborah Paul]

Hi Everyone,

As BIS (TDWG) members, you've likely heard of Inselect. This upcoming 
webinar at iDigBio 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  at the NHM. We are very excited to engage with the 
community and receive feedback and ideas.

The software combines image processing, barcode reading, batch 
processing and validation of user-defined data 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.
