Later this month, the Symbiota Support Hub (SSH) will be hosting a Portal Advancement Campaign dedicated to the Consortium of Small Vertebrate Collections (“CSVColl”) data portal community (csvcoll.org). As part of this event, we invite prospective portal users to engage with us, especially if your institution maintains research-grade vertebrate specimens (i.e., preserved mammals, birds, herps, and/or fishes) that are not yet managed in a secure database or shared online.
We will be hosting a virtual Office Hour for existing and prospective members of this Symbiota portal community on Tuesday, September 24 at 11a Arizona time. During this meeting, the SSH and Dakota Rowsey, the CSVColl Portal Manager, will introduce ourselves and the campaign, and we will be available to answer questions you might have about the CSVColl portal. Additionally, due to portal growth, we’ll also discuss the possibility of rebranding this portal community as part of this event. Please register to participate: https://symbiota.org/csvcoll-portal-campaign.
Please reach out to the Symbiota Support Hub (help@symbiota.org) or Dakota Rowsey (CSVCollAdmin@asu.edu) if you’d like more information but cannot attend the meeting.
