educational modules and tutorials to help use museum databases and tools. The modules are intended to introduce students to the vast
resources (specimens) available in natural history museums worldwide. In the
past, these specimens were unavailable to educators but now -- with digitized
information available over the web -- teachers and students can begin to
explore this previously hidden library of biodiversity.  Target audiences and IT needs AIM-UP! modules have been developed for college-level courses, but may be appropriate for advanced high school courses. These modules require accessing an online museum database, including specimen images and distribution maps.
