Join iDigBio and panelists from the community on Thursday, April 15, 2021 from 2:00pm to 3:00pm Eastern in a moderated conversation about sustaining digitization and data mobilization activities in biodiversity collections beyond initial grant funding. Panelists will discuss strategies for integrating digitization into an institution’s ongoing activities and budget, including what metrics they see as valuable for gaining internal support. Panelists will also consider impediments to sustaining digitization. We invite the audience to submit questions to the panel in advance of this event via https://bit.ly/36PG3nO.
