Hi Everyone, Survey. Is it annual reporting time at your institution yet? Wondering what other collections and museums measure? If #collectionMetrics interest you, please take our survey http://bit.ly/museummetrics<https://bit.ly/museummetrics?fbclid=IwAR3NiWLNv1_YACQ7HL5QsK0wNKyn1nMfGIy5Q…>. Help us develop an understanding of measurements in use. We'll synthesize what's being measured (or not) in a white paper. From these data, we will also make recommendations, for example, for potential metrics to include in future grant proposals, and a vision for the future of collection metrics (for objects, processes, equipment, space, and staff). The survey should take about 10 minutes to complete. Metrics Resources. Find out more about this effort from our recent symposium at Chicago SPNHC 2019. See the wiki for Collecting Measures of Success<https://www.idigbio.org/wiki/index.php/SPNHC2019_Collecting_Measures_of_Suc…> for the talks (as PDFs). Add your metrics resources<https://www.idigbio.org/wiki/index.php/SPNHC2019_Collecting_Measures_of_Suc…> to this wiki page, and see what others have shared so far. In anticipation, Debbie Paul (iDigBio), David Shorthouse (Ag-Canada), Shelley James (RBGSyd) -- -- Upcoming iDigBio Events https://www.idigbio.org/calendar -- Deborah Paul, iDigBio Digitization and Workforce Training Specialist iDigBio -- Steering Committee Member SPNHC Liaison, Member-At-Large and Member International Relations Committee SYNTHESYS3 Representative, ICEDIG External Advisory Board Member Vice Chair, Biodiversity Information Standards Organisation (TDWG)(2019-2020) Institute for Digital Information, 234 LSB Florida State University Tallahassee, Florida 32306 850-644-6366
