Two Projects
Field Book Project• Led by PIs Rusty Russell
and Anne Van Camp• Improve access to
biodiversity field books • Cataloging, conserving,
digitizing
Connecting Content• Led by PI Becky Morin and
initiated with former co-PI Danielle Castronovo
• Enable links between field books, specimens, and published literature

Challenge: Making the Connections
22
Ambiguity often exists between field notes and individual specimens and objects
![Page 24: Field Book Project CBHL 2012](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052820/54c6aacc4a7959aa4b8b45b0/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Next Stepsfor Both Projects
• Testing, iterating, streamlining the Field Book Registry
• EAC records for automated linking• Acquiring new partners and content in all
aforementioned resources• Crowd sourcing field note transcriptions and
text processing of taxonomic names• Pilot project mash-ups made public and
encourage others to create their own mashups
