For most collections professionals, a (relatively) new reality of the job is that they must manage data about specimens as well as the specimens themselves. The SPNHC Data Help Desk will provide conference attendees with an opportunity to stop by our booth and ask data-related questions in an informal and personal setting. Our local presence at the conference is paired with a concurrent virtual Data Help Desk on Twitter. This concept follows a model that iDigBio & partners have successfully implemented over the past four years of meetings with the Ecological Society of America, the American Society of Mammalogists, and the Entomological Society of America.

About

For most collections professionals, a (relatively) new reality of the job is that they must manage data about specimens as well as the specimens themselves. The SPNHC 2022 Data Help Desk will provide conference attendees with an opportunity to stop by our booth and ask data-related questions in an informal and personal setting. Our local presence at the conference is paired with a concurrent virtual Data Help Desk.
