ORI Library Staff Presented at SciDataCon 2018

Last week Okavango Research Institute library staff successfully hosted a session on 'Preservation of Personal Biodiversity Data Collection.

This session, under the theme of Data Stewardship - Rescue of Research Data at Risk,  highlighted the importance of preserving local personal collections of biodiversity data, and  discussed strategies and good practice in making their content and context available to support ongoing research. Presenters will shared case studies of rescued collections, including both successes and failures. The session also included other papers on different biodiversity data issues and challenges.
