We are pleased to announce five upcoming webinars from BHL’s NDSR residents! Each resident has spent the past 10 months or so working hard on individual—yet inter-related—research projects to explore how we might best improve the features and functionality of BHL to incorporate new technologies and evolving best practices for digital libraries and the larger biodiversity community.
Each resident will be delivering a webinar, reporting on the results of their research to date along with their recommendations for BHL. The topics and schedule for the first three webinars are outlined below. Two more webinars will be announced shortly—stay tuned! At the end of this announcement, you can also see further information on joining the webinars.
Special thanks goes to iDigBio for generously granting the BHL NDSR residents use of their AdobeConnect system!
