Hi TDWG'ers,<br>
<br>
Do you manage digital assets? Do collections or other groups ask you
about digital archiving? At iDigBio, we had a webinar on Digital
Asset Management -- and folks still had more questions. So, next
week there's a webinar and panel session on this topic. Please share
widely, thanks! Details next.<br>
<br>
Hi Everyone,<br>
<br>
Wondering how you might archive and manage the digital resources you
are creating? Wondering what your options are? If you have
questions, our panelists may have answers...<br>
<br>
<small><small>For Natural History Collections, keeping track of
physical specimens, documents, media, and related materials is
no small task. Capturing as much of the data from these objects
as possible, to provide digital access is another challenge.
Then, collections (and libraries, and offices, and ...) need to
figure out how to archive these digital resources. What are best
practices? Given that financial constraints often exist and the
humans involved must spend time learning how to use a Digital
Asset Management (DAM) tool, what options are available? What
are the small and mid-sized solutions that have been
implemented? Where can Natural History Collections find help
with making these decisions and setting up the selected
solutions?<br>
</small></small><br>
WHEN: Join us next week, Thursday 28 April, 2:30pm to 3:45pm EDT.<br>

Please mark your calendars and bring your questions. If you've found
a great solution - please contribute! We'd like to compile what's
working - as examples for others. If you have something written up
about how you decided, how much it costs, and what it's like to
implement and maintain, it would be great to put these details up at
iDigBio for everyone.<br>
<br>
Please share this with any interested parties!<br>

Best,<br>
