Why are counts established in 2009 and later required to submit their data electronically using the online form?
In requiring online entry, NABA has embraced 21st-century technology and adopted a system that streamlines entering data from the growing number of counts (now approximately 500) for the compiler, for regional editors and for NABA staff. Online entry by compilers virtually eliminates the inevitable errors that occur when editors transcribe data from count forms to edited text. It saves on postage for compilers, Regional Editors, and NABA (no small matter these days), and reduces the carbon footprint of the program. It also allows the easy submission of images needed to verify unusual sightings. Compilers who are unable to access a computer for online entry should please contact the NABA office so that alternative plans can be arranged.
