|Workshop: Towards a strategic approach to digitising and mobilising UK museum biodiversity data<br/> | |||
Workshop: Regional digitisation project – practical review | |||
|In this 2-day workshop, iDigBio is supporting UK efforts to foster across-region collaboration and discussions for development of a strategic plan and vision to digitize regional and small collections across the UK. Day 1 attendees are museum leaders and directors. We will share case studies of collaborative digitization and data mobilization and offer examples from potential key stakeholders while highlighting audience benefits. Topics include: the UK science / nature agenda, citizen science, workforce skills and diversity, the power of storytelling, funding models, and institutional benefits mapping. For day 2, attendees will be staff caring for small and regional collections, essentially, non-national museum curators. The focus shifts to ideas, models, and training for incorporating digitization at this level but to key in on practical recommendations that do not require additional budget or expertise if possible. Practical training may be offered in one or two key areas, for example, georeferencing and review of recommendations based on the Five Task Clusters paper (Nelson, et al 2012). Future plans include repeating this second day for other regional (non-national museum) UK curators. | |||
