Re: Species Dictionary downloads

I had a query today from someone that would like downloadable versions of the species checklists for viewing offline and printing. Is downloading of checklists technically possible? If so, are there plans to offer such a service?

Re: Species Dictionary downloads

Hi Charles,

Yes, this is technically possible and whilst we haven't finalised the exact delivery format(s) yet, it is a service that we will be offering in the future.

We have permission from some, but not all, data providers to disseminate their checklists in this way and are planning a download facility as part of a revised Species Dictionary website (not sure when this will be - we're currently assessing the available options).

At an appropriate time, I will canvass user requirements via this forum to ensure that we settle upon the most useful download format.
