AbstractThis session will highlight iDigBio and the National Science Foundation’s “Advancing the Digitization of Biodiversity Collections” initiative. With currently over 45 million records, the digitization of biodiversity specimens provides a huge data store which can be an excellent resource. Join us as we show you what information is available, how it can be used in interpretive programs and how iDigBio’s education and outreach program can benefit state park interpretation.
