How to Reach the catalogue project
We welcome correspondence from readers, researchers, and rights holders. The simplest way to get in touch is by emailing the the catalogue, at [email protected]. The catalogue project organizes and maintains catalogue records using available source information.
When to Write
You may wish to contact us for any of the following reasons:
- Metadata corrections — if you notice an incorrect title, author attribution, or category placement (for example, a book listed under Wildlife and Zoology that belongs in Young Readers & Adventures).
- Source link or catalogue issues — If a Project Gutenberg source link is unavailable, or if a catalogue page contains a broken link or display problem, please let us know.
- Accessibility problems — if a particular ebook is difficult to navigate with assistive technology, or if you have suggestions for improvement.
- Privacy questions — inquiries about how we handle personal data (though we collect very little).
- Copyright or rights concerns — if you believe a work in our catalogue is not in the public domain in your jurisdiction, or if you are a rights holder with a legitimate claim.
- General editorial observations — thoughts on a reading companion, background essay, or any other part of the site.
What to Include in Your Report
To help us investigate efficiently, please include as many of the following details as possible:
- The exact URL (page address) where the issue appears.
- The full ebook title and author.
- Source link or catalogue issues — If a Project Gutenberg source link is unavailable, or if a catalogue page contains a broken link or display problem, please let us know.
- The device or browser you were using (e.g., iPad, Kindle Paperwhite, Firefox 120).
- A clear description of the observed problem — what you expected and what actually happened.
- If the matter involves copyright, any supporting information about your rights or the work’s status in your country.
What We Do Not Offer
We are a small independent catalogue and cannot provide phone support, a physical address, or a guaranteed response time. We also do not maintain a contact form; email is the only channel. Every message is read, but we may not be able to reply individually to every query.
Editorial Tone
We aim to be precise, courteous, and transparent. If you write about a specific title — such as Migration of Birds (1979) or A Guide to the Study of Fishes — please mention the edition or reading companion you are referring to. This helps us locate the correct record quickly.
How We Use Your Feedback
Your reports and suggestions directly influence how we maintain and improve the catalogue. Metadata corrections are typically reviewed and applied within a few days. Source link or catalogue issues are investigated and, where possible, resolved in a subsequent update. Accessibility feedback helps us refine the structure of our HTML and ebook files to better support assistive technologies. Copyright concerns are taken seriously; we will review the work in question and, if necessary, remove or restrict access to it in the relevant jurisdiction.
Privacy and Data Handling
When you email us, we receive your email address and any information you choose to include. We use this data only to respond to your inquiry or to act on your report. We do not share your contact details with third parties, nor do we add you to any mailing list unless you explicitly request it. After we have addressed your message, we retain the correspondence in our records for reference, but we do not use it for any other purpose. You may ask us to delete your email and any associated data at any time.
We look forward to hearing from you and improving the library together.
