Computerization of the Herpetology Collection of the Museum of Comparative Zoology, Harvard University

[9419753]比较动物博物馆的爬行动物收藏是同类收藏中规模最大、最全面的收藏之一。世界上一半以上已命名的两栖动物和爬行动物都有代表，包括所有科的代表。馆藏的类型和重要的历史收藏品异常丰富。该收藏被国际科学界大量使用，每年被各大洲科学家引用的论文接近50篇。本项目将使用MUSE软件系统完成收集数据库的回顾性捕获任务。同时，使用该系统进行的编目工作将由常设策展人员完成。在赠款期结束时，预计将重新收集整个数据库的30多万份记录，并利用计算机化系统充分发挥贷款发票、标签和收款查询的功能。

9419753 Cadle the Herpetology Collection of the Museum of Comparative Zoology is one of the largest and most comprehensive collections of its kind. Well more than half of the world's named species of amphibians and reptiles is represented, including representatives of all families. The collection is exceptionally rich in types and important historical collections. The collection is heavily used by the international scientific community, as documented by citations approaching 50 papers per year in papers authored by scientists on all continents. This project will accomplish the task of retrospective capture of the collection database using the software system MUSE. Concomitantly, ongoing cataloguing using the system will be done by permanent curatorial staff. At the end of the grant period, it is expected that the entire database of more than 300,000 records will be recaptured, and loan invoicing, labeling, and collection queries fully functional using the computerized system.
