Why the NBII LIFE, instead of the old NBII Digital Image Library?
The NBII Digital Image Library is now the NBII LIFE. A new database and Web site system allows us to serve many more images, and allows the user to sort the thousands of pictures within a category, search within the results, see related images, and find locations where images were obtained on a map. The improved database also can support much more information with images, including coordinates, the sex of the subject, information about any specimens featured in images, etc.
