Image Management in Bio- and Environmental Sciences: New Directions

Image Management in Bio- and Environmental Sciences: New Directions

to be held at

The John Rylands University Library, University of Manchester
Thursday, 31st May, 2007, 9.30 – 16.30

Workshop Outline
The bio- and environmental sciences cover a broad spectrum from taxonomy to bioinformatics, farming to climate change, with a correspondingly wide range of information resources ranging from historic manuscripts to genomic databanks. Images form an important component of all these and achieving holistic management of diverse resources to allow easy correlation of their information content is challenging, especially for small information units and ‘one-man-bands’. Developing technologies offer new opportunities but can themselves produce new demands in devising effective strategies for their use. This workshop aims to share experiences and float ideas in areas where there are as yet no ‘right answers’!
