Hi Everyone!
At the recent iDigBio Summit, the topic of storing media and other
data (aka "Archiving") was prominent. Storing "archival" copies of
images and other digital assets can be a challenge. Ever heard of a
DAM? That's a Digital Asset Management system. Come find out more
about these issues - bring your questions, comments, concerns,
solutions, and ideas to:
iDIgBio Webinar: DAMmed if you Do or Don’t
https://www.idigbio.org/content/webinar-dammed-if-you-do-or-don%E2%80%99t
Day and Date: Tuesday, 17 November 2015
Time: 4 PM EST, that's 21:00 UTC

Brought to you by: The iDigBio Data Management Interest Group (DMIG)
DETAILS
Abstract: How to safeguard and preserve digital assets is
increasingly critical to collections digitization programs,
particularly given the explosion in specimen imaging and related
efforts. This webinar will look at various procedures for digital
preservation and review what a digital asset management system (DAM)
is and can offer. There will be a live demo of an institution-wide
DAM at Yale University that serves the Peabody Museum and other
campus units, with discussion of costs, timelines, features,
technical needs, and how several collections management systems
successfully integrated with the DAM.
Presenter: Larry Gall, Head of Computer Systems and
Entomology Collections Manager, Peabody Museum of Natural History,
Yale University. I’m not technically a PI/coPI on a TCN, but am
closely affiliated with all of the Yale ones given that I support
the systems/workflow that support our content for the work. Those
include Fossil Insect Collaborative (FIC), MacroAlgal Herbarium
Consortium (MHC), New England Vascular Plants (NEVP), North American
Lichens and Bryophytes (LBCC); and also Paleoniches as a PEN.
See you there!
Best,
Deb, et al
and yes, it's being recorded if you can't make it.
