How to reach the catalogue project
This catalogue is maintained by a catalogue workflow who reads every report carefully. If something in the collection needs attention, please write to editor@ijawu.com. That address reaches IJAWU Catalogue, the catalogue project Zealand preserving historical texts and compiling author biographies.
What to report
Readers have helped improve the catalogue by sending observations about:
- Metadata errors — incorrect title, author name, publication date, or category placement. For example, a book listed under “Historical Psychological Social Fiction” that seems to belong elsewhere.
- Unreadable files — a download that fails to open, displays garbled text, or is missing chapters.
- Reader failures — a file that works on one device but not on another, or that causes an app to crash.
- Accessibility problems — poor contrast, missing alt text for illustrations, or screen-reader incompatibility.
- Privacy questions — concerns about how your data is handled when you browse or download.
- Copyright or rights concerns — if you believe a title is not in the public domain in your jurisdiction, or if you hold rights and wish to discuss removal.
- General editorial observations — typos in introductory notes, broken links, or suggestions for additional context.
What to include in your message
To help the catalogue project investigate quickly, please include as many of the following details as apply:
- The exact page URL (the address in your browser’s address bar).
- The ebook title and, if known, the author.
- The file format you tried to use (EPUB, PDF, MOBI, HTML, etc.).
- The device or browser you were using (e.g., Kindle Paperwhite, Firefox on Windows, Safari on iPad).
- A clear description of the observed problem. If the issue appears only in a specific section, quote a few words or note the chapter.
- Any supporting rights information if your message concerns copyright. For example, a link to a public-domain determination or a statement of your interest.
How reports are handled
When a report arrives, the catalogue project reads it and, where possible, verifies the issue against the original source text. Metadata corrections are usually applied within a few days. File-format problems may require re-encoding or replacing the source file, which can take longer. Accessibility improvements are prioritised based on the severity of the barrier. Copyright concerns are reviewed individually; if a title appears not to be in the public domain in your jurisdiction, the catalogue project will evaluate the claim and may remove or restrict the listing.
What not to expect
This is a small independent project. the catalogue project reads every message but cannot promise a response within a set time, nor can he address every request. He does not operate a contact form, phone line, or physical office. Please do not send unsolicited attachments larger than a few megabytes.
Privacy
Email addresses and message contents are used only to respond to your inquiry and are not shared with third parties. They are retained no longer than necessary and are deleted after the issue is resolved, unless you ask us to keep a record.
Thank you
Reports from readers have helped correct author attributions in titles like The Road to Providence, fix a missing chapter in Christie Johnstone: A Novel, and improve accessibility in Those Extraordinary Twins. Your observations make the catalogue more reliable for everyone.
