For those who were unable to make it to the ESA Annual Meeting this year, I’ll be sharing all 3 of the presentations I gave over the next week or so. The audio is my actual presentation from the ESA meeting (recorded using my iPhone set on the lectern), which I later synced to screen capture video of the slideshow, essentially transporting you through time & space to ESA 2011! Turns out I’m no David Attenborough or David Suzuki, but hearing myself present was actually a pretty useful tool for how to improve in the future!
This presentation was part of the Citizen Scientists in Entomology Research, and aimed at sharing how the Canadian Journal of Arthropod Identification is a great place for citizen science projects to publish identification aids specifically for their volunteers.
Here are the (slightly modified) slides if you’d like to explore a little further:
Just watched all three, great job in representing Canadian entomologist/UoG/CJAI!
Thanks Miles!
I just went through the slides – seemed like great stuff. Older biodiversity literature (including that on entomology) is already available to everyone through the Biodiversity Heritage Library (http://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/).
I am currently working on the Biodiversity Heritage Library for Europe (http://www.bhl-europe.eu/ and http://bhleurope.blogspot.com/). I’ll definitely be keeping an eye on your blog.
I love the BHL and use it almost every day! It has made finding old, obscure references so much easier for me and has made my research go much smoother!
