How to reserve a camera station

Overview

The Herbarium Digital Imaging Center currently contains 7 specimen imaging workstations. Each camera station is numbered and must be reserved prior to use.  

You must have an NYBG email address and have been granted access to the "Herbarium Calendars" in order to make a reservation. Contact Kim Watson if you need assistance.

Please be courteous to others when reserving a camera:

• Do not sign up for a camera and then not use it
• If your imaging schedule changes, please update or delete your reservation for the camera
• If you finish early, update your reservation so others know the camera is available
• Do not create an appointment "series" and reserve a camera every day for weeks in advance.  Make individual appointments and sign up a few days to a week in advance.
