Abstract

Background and Problems

  1. Large number of teaching resources of different format, including physical and digitized ones, have been collected throughout the years.
  2. Currently, specimens of different types and corresponding descriptions are indexed and stored separately, making retrieval very inefficient. Description and analysis has to be rewritten whenever new teaching resources are made.
Objectives
  1. Produce an indexed library of all available teaching materials and facilitate interaction with specimens with a web based application and powerful search system.
  2. Through a well-organized collection of teaching resources to assist student directed learning.
  3. Produce a publicly accessible well organized specimen library and enhance visibility and reputation for the University.
