A little bit about iDigBio
Advancing Digitization of Biodiversity Collections
Integrated Digitized Biocollections (iDigBio)University of Florida
Florida State University Florida Museum of Natural History

The goal is to digitize and make available via the Web at least 1 billionbiological and paleontological records over the 10-year life of the project.
Ten Thematic Collections Networks (TCNs) plus several Partner to Existing Networks (PENs)
• InvertNet: An Integrative Platform for Research on Environmental Change, Species Discovery and Identification ( Illinois Natural History Survey, University of Illinois) http://invertnet.org
• Plants, Herbivores, and Parasitoids: A Model System for the Study of Tri-Trophic Associations (American Museum of Natural History) http://tcn.amnh.org
• North American Lichens and Bryophytes: Sensitive Indicators of Environmental Quality and Change (University of Wisconsin – Madison) http://symbiota.org/nalichens/index.php http://symbiota.org/bryophytes/index.php (plus 2 PENs)
• Digitizing Fossils to Enable New Syntheses in Biogeography - Creating a PALEONICHES-TCN (University of Kansas)
• The Macrofungi Collection Consortium: Unlocking a Biodiversity Resource for Understanding Biotic Interactions, Nutrient Cycling and Human Affairs (New York Botanical Garden)
• Mobilizing New England Vascular Plant Specimen Data to Track Environmental Change (Yale University)
• Southwest Collections of Anthropods Network (SCAN): A Model for Collections Digitization to Promote Taxonomic and Ecological Research (Northern Arizona University) http://hasbrouck.asu.edu/symbiota/portal/index.php
New as of 1 July 2013• iDigPaleo: Fossil Insect Collaborative: A Deep-Time Approach to Studying Diversification and Response to Environmental Change
• Developing a Centralized Digital Archive of Vouchered Animal Communication Signals
• The Macroalgal Herbarium Consortium: Accessing 150 Years of Specimen Data to Understand Changes in the Marine/Aquatic Environment

Metadata tagging
Collections management• Loans• Removal of insects from soups
“Set aside our prejudices about what can and cannotbe done with “insect soups” and crowdsourcing andbuild communities that can help us mine this richsource of data.” (Flemons and Mantle)
