== Statement of Purpose ==
This page offers SPNHC members a permanent place to share and expand the reach of posters shared at SPNHC events such as our yearly conference. Otherwise, posters tend to be ephemeral. Poster content aggregates a LOT of intellectual capital. Let us all change community practice to give posters, people, and the content generated, a broader reach, and longer shelf life.
+
This page offers SPNHC members a place to share conference posters following annual meetings to provide a lasting resource to the natural history community.

== Poster Guidelines & Sharing ==
This table shares all posters as part of the SPNHC and ICOM NATHHIST Virtual 2020 Conference [LINK] .
+
''Interested in sharing a SPHNC poster presented at a past meeting?'' Best Practices committee members are soliciting copies of SPNHC posters from previous conference years to add to the SPNHC wiki. '''Authors should ensure that they have permissions to publicly share the images and information embedded in posters prior to publishing to the wiki'''.
 +
 
 +
In order to standardize content and maintain a web-friendly poster resolution, we ask that authors send digital copies of posters and relevant metadata to the Best Practices committee rather than upload directly to the wiki. Please provide the following information to [[User:EmilyBraker|Emily Braker]]:
 +
*Conference year or venue (helpful for finding abstract)
 +
*Author name(s) and affiliation(s)
 +
*Keywords (up to 5)
 +
*Poster formatted as a PDF, down-sampled to ~1500 pixel widths (if you are unfamiliar with resizing, a Best Practices member can do this for you). Full-resolution posters that are not down-sampled can very easily break the wiki since they can consume as much as 1GB memory to process.
 +
* Optional: - email contact, [https://orcid.org/ ORCID ID], twitter handle (include only if you are willing share with wiki viewers).
 +
 
 +
Thank you to all poster contributors, and we encourage past SPNHC poster authors to consider sharing their work on the wiki so that it will continue to serve as a resource for others. Note that 2021 was a virtual conference year with no SPNHC poster submissions.

Statement of Purpose

This page offers SPNHC members a place to share conference posters following annual meetings to provide a lasting resource to the natural history community.

Realizing the import of collections and related materials [1][2][3], SPNHC recognizes the need to collaborate to develop, discover, disseminate and update best (better, current, recommended) practices for creating digital collections resources and publishing them for global access. Posters linked here represent the efforts of many collections worldwide and serve as an attempt to broaden the reach and longevity of poster information beyond the annual conference window.

Poster Guidelines & Sharing

Interested in sharing a SPHNC poster presented at a past meeting? Best Practices committee members are soliciting copies of SPNHC posters from previous conference years to add to the SPNHC wiki. Authors should ensure that they have permissions to publicly share the images and information embedded in posters prior to publishing to the wiki.

In order to standardize content and maintain a web-friendly poster resolution, we ask that authors send digital copies of posters and relevant metadata to the Best Practices committee rather than upload directly to the wiki. Please provide the following information to Emily Braker:

  • Conference year or venue (helpful for finding abstract)
  • Author name(s) and affiliation(s)
  • Keywords (up to 5)
  • Poster formatted as a PDF, down-sampled to ~1500 pixel widths (if you are unfamiliar with resizing, a Best Practices member can do this for you). Full-resolution posters that are not down-sampled can very easily break the wiki since they can consume as much as 1GB memory to process.
  • Optional: - email contact, ORCID ID, twitter handle (include only if you are willing share with wiki viewers).

Thank you to all poster contributors, and we encourage past SPNHC poster authors to consider sharing their work on the wiki so that it will continue to serve as a resource for others. Note that 2021 was a virtual conference year with no SPNHC poster submissions.
