Volunteering
We try our best to elaborate works appended to our library. It is possible only thanks to the support of our volunteers.
We invite every person who wants to take part in developing the web school library Wolne Lektury.
We offer trainings and traineeships in proofreading and copy-editing for every and each volunteer. Our volunteers can learn not only about the problems, but also the opportunities concerning web publishing. They organize the trainings and conferences together with us, as well as they help in preparing the audio versions ob books (so called audiobooks). We are also able to issue voluneering contracts and certificates regarding sort and duration of volunteer's work for our foundation. The traineeships, proofreading and copywriting practice as well as the certificates confirming those may be found vital in acquiring professional qualifications and promotion. .
What else is there to be done?
Preparing the reading for publishing demands the most effort. One has to correct the typos nad other errors of this kind in the texts we receive from the National Library. Next, one needs to provide the book with the annotations, at the same time bearing in mind that our offering is addressed to the pupils, for whom many words and collocations may sound out of date. The older editions (the rule is determined by copyrights) are subject to essential lingustic modernisations, i.e. in spelling or inflection but we pay attention to not to violate the artistic specifity of the literary works. The last stage of the preparation is searching for literary motfis and themes, so the text is examined thoroughly. In each and every phase we are supported by the volunteers - teachers and students - who often advise us point out crucial matters as we take important decisions.
