Hi Everyone,<br>
<br>
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.<br>

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.<br>
