The BHL is…
• A consortium of 14 natural history, botanical libraries and research institutions
• An open access digital library for legacy biodiversity literature.
• An open data repository of taxonomic names and bibliographic information
• An increasingly global effort

What does a Collections Coordinator do?
![Page 8: Forging the Digital Roadmap: The Preservation, Curation and Stewardship Nexus](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062614/547851b1b4af9f4d108b4c6e/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Challenges
• Article access• Preservation: Replication &
Synchronization• Integrating content scanned outside
standard workflow• Deduplication• OCR accuracy• Copyright issues• Funding & resources
(of course!)
![Page 9: Forging the Digital Roadmap: The Preservation, Curation and Stewardship Nexus](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062614/547851b1b4af9f4d108b4c6e/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Lessons Learned
• Collaboration is key• Content is King• If you make your data available, people will
use it• Value of experimentation and failure• Be flexible• “Just Do It”

Future Directions
• Article level access– Reconfiguring back-end BHL database– Harvesting metadata from Biostor.org (thanks Roderic D.M.

• New user interface coming soon!
