Global Records Management for Aquariums and Zoos (MARA Webcast)
What\u2019s the first thing you think of when someone asks you about your trip to the zoo or aquarium? It\u2019s likely the animal and marine life you encountered\u2014not the records behind the scenes. But those institutions must show evidence of having modern (preferably electronic) records management systems for managing animal records, veterinary records, and other relevant information. Our first presenter will discuss the role records play in managing a world\u2019s worth of animal data and describe the Zoological Information Management System (ZIMS) used by more than 1,100 institutions in over 96 countries. Our second presenter will discuss research being conducted at Mote Marine Laboratory and his role in maintaining accurate physical and digital records of the animals in the collection.
