Preservation

PRESERVATION data may be hand entered by using a mouse click or by using the arrow keys and hitting the space bar. Click all parts that apply for one specimen (i.e. skin, skull, skeleton, and tissues).

Data are preferably entered using a bar code scanner. Click SCAN INVENTORY and use a portable bar code scanner to scan the bar codes of the different specimen parts (skin tags, skull tags, skeleton tags, alcohol tags, and tissue tube stickers). The computer automatically puts the scanned information in the approporiate sections of the INVENTORY screen for that particular record and matches scanned information to other records as well.

To stop scanning bar codes and return to keyboarding data, scan the bar code "scan stop code" provided by the NSRL.
