How to Use the Resources Utility

Overview

The Resources utility allows Admin users to set up automatic queries to external online resouces that can be launched directly from EMu, using content in EMu.

The Resources utility appears in every module under the Tools menu.  Tools->Resources.

In Catalogue, you can load the current Specimen record in the Virtual Herbarium.
