Hi Tweeters: Over the summer the Slater Museum staff, especially Jason
Miller, have been updating and adding to the online wing collection
(digitalcollections.ups.edu/slatermuseum). The interface is now searchable
with some custom and advanced search options. Any comments, suggestions,
requests are welcome. Over the fall and winter I plan on adding additional
wings illustrating variation and examples of molt limits. The latter are
useful for banders.

The software we are using is ContentDM and it has a few quirks, see
www.ups.edu/5662.xml for an overview of the search capabilities, and
www.ups.edu/11965.xml, for comments on digital imaging and color rendering.
Sorry for the numeric addresses - the University's idea for ease of use.
