How to Reach the catalogue project
The Public Domain Literature Library is maintained by a catalogue workflow who reviews each catalogue entry. If you notice something that needs attention, please write to editor@oqras.com. This is the only verified contact address for editorial matters.
What to Report
Readers are encouraged to send reports about:
- Incorrect metadata — a title that does not match the work, an author attribution that appears wrong, or a publication date that seems implausible.
- Misplaced categories — a book that has been assigned to a category where it does not belong, such as a romance placed under “Science Fiction Utopias.”
- Unreadable files — a file that will not open, displays garbled text, or is missing large sections.
- Reader failures — a specific device, browser, or ereader application that cannot render a file correctly.
- Accessibility problems — missing alt text for illustrations, poor contrast, or other barriers that make the text difficult to use with assistive technology.
- Privacy questions — concerns about how your data is handled when you browse the catalogue or download ebooks.
- Copyright or rights concerns — a work that you believe is not in the public domain in your jurisdiction, or for which you hold rights and wish to discuss its inclusion.
- General editorial observations — suggestions for improvement, corrections to the reading notes, or ideas for new additions.
How to Structure Your Report
To help the catalogue project address your message quickly, please include:
- The exact URL (web address) of the page where you found the problem.
- The ebook title as it appears in the catalogue.
- The file format you attempted to use (ePub, PDF, Kindle, etc.).
- The device or browser you were using, including version if you know it.
- A clear description of the observed problem — what you expected to happen and what actually happened.
- If your message concerns copyright or rights, any supporting information you can provide, such as the title’s original publication date and your relationship to the work.
What Not to Expect
This is a small independent project. the catalogue project reads every message but cannot guarantee a reply within a specific timeframe. Please do not send time-sensitive requests. There is no telephone number, physical address, or contact form; all editorial correspondence is handled by email only.
Privacy Note
Your email address and any personal information you include in your message will be used solely to respond to your enquiry. They will not be added to any mailing list or shared with third parties. If you have specific privacy concerns, you may state them in your message, and the catalogue project will address them directly.
Before You Write
Many common questions can be answered by reviewing the catalogue entry itself. Each book page includes a description, publication details, and reading notes that may clarify the work’s context or category placement. If you are unsure whether a title is public domain, note that copyright status varies by country; the catalogue project can provide guidance but not legal advice.
For technical issues, try downloading the ebook in a different format first. If the problem persists, include the format and device details in your report. For accessibility concerns, describing the specific assistive tool you use helps the catalogue project identify the barrier.
Scope of Editorial Review
the catalogue project personally examines each catalogue entry, but the library’s scope means not every book can be read cover to cover before listing. Reading notes are prepared to highlight key themes and context, and they may be updated as new information comes to light. Reports that point out factual errors or omissions in these notes are especially valued.
Categories are assigned based on the catalogue grouping criteria of the work’s primary subject. If a book seems miscategorised, the catalogue project will review the classification and adjust it if warranted. For example, a detective novel that also contains social commentary may appear in both “Detectives & Hidden Clues” and “Historical Psychological Social Fiction.”
Language and Tone
Messages may be written in English or another language; the catalogue project reads several languages and will do their best to understand. Please keep correspondence courteous and focused. the catalogue project reserves the right to decline to engage with abusive or harassing messages.
