Entomology CM Digitization
Jan, Sree and Anders have begun digitizing Danish Butterflies on the simplified set-up in room 411
Do Jan, Sree, or Anders have any suggestins on how to improve the ergonomics of the workstation? This is being discussed at our next Digitizer Meeting.
Statistics Sheet
On Tuesday, 21 May, Pip sent out a statistics sheet and information about how to fill it out and why it is important to DaSSCo.
Training
Digitization training available for staff, volunteers, student helpers, etc. Please feel free to ask
DaSSCo plan for next two months
After Chelsea met with CMs, it was decided that digitization will continue with the Macro Moth FOV with the next family directly after Sphingidae, called Lasiocampidae (69 drawers) followed by Brahmaeidae (2 drawers) and Endromidae (9 drawers).
CMs highlighted a few macro moth families that we could digitize, but in order to stay wall-to-wall, we might consider going back to the Pyralidae FOV to digitize Crambidae and Drepanidae. If we wanted to continue in the Macro Moth FOV; we will have to skip around. A few options have been highlighted, including Erebidae (36/212 drawers with micromoth FOV) and Notodontidae (86 drawers).
Workstation update
We have experienced issues with the camera disconnecting or shutting down. This may be from overheating. We have turned the in-camera live view off on the Simplified workstations and hope this will remedy the problem.
Following up on
How to mark digitzed specimens in a dynamic and expanding collection https://github.com/NHMDenmark/Pinned-Insects-workstation/issues/60
It might be worth volunteers etc having a spreadsheet and if they move a taxon to a new drawer which has been digitised (or not), add a barcode to pin. Scan it into spreadsheet, add taxon, save. These could then be imported into Specify. We therefore at least know of its existence in the world. Worth discussing?
