How to Reach IOMEZ Catalogue
We welcome correspondence from readers, researchers, and rights holders. Our editorial office is managed by The catalogue groups works according to its available bibliographic records and subject scope. While we cannot guarantee a specific response time, every message is reviewed carefully.
When to Write
You may wish to contact us for any of the following reasons:
- Metadata corrections — if a title, author, or category appears incorrect. For example, a book listed under “Young Readers & Adventures” that seems better suited to “Fairy Tales, Myths & Legends” may be brought to our attention.
- File or reading issues — if an ebook fails to open, displays garbled text, or is unreadable on a particular device or browser. Please include the file format (EPUB, PDF, etc.) and the software or device you were using.
- Accessibility concerns — if you encounter barriers such as missing alt text, poor contrast, or screen-reader incompatibility.
- Copyright or rights questions — if you believe a work is not in the public domain in your jurisdiction, or if you are a rights holder with a concern. Provide any supporting documentation you have.
- General editorial observations — thoughtful comments about our catalogue, suggestions for new categories, or notes on context pieces such as those accompanying The Silver Ring Mystery — Background and Themes or Evenings at Home; Or, The Juvenile Budget Opened — Text and Context.
What to Include
To help us address your report efficiently, please include as many of the following details as possible:
- The exact page URL where the issue appears.
- The full ebook title and, if known, the edition or series (e.g., “Ann Crosses a Secret Trail Ann Sterling Series #4 — Text and Context”).
- The file format you are using (EPUB, PDF, MOBI, etc.).
- The device, browser, or reading application and its version.
- A clear description of the problem you observed.
- Any relevant rights or permissions information, if your message concerns copyright.
Our Email Address
Please send all correspondence to editor@iomez.com. This is the only verified editorial contact for the Historical Children’s Library. We do not maintain a phone line, postal address, or contact form.
A Note on Privacy
If your message includes personal data, we will treat it in accordance with our privacy commitments. We do not share correspondence details with third parties except as required by law. For more information, see our Privacy page.
What Happens After You Write
Once your email is received, it is logged and directed to the appropriate member of our small editorial team. For metadata corrections, we compare your observation against our source records and, if confirmed, update the catalogue entry. For file or reading issues, we test the reported format on similar devices where possible. Accessibility concerns are reviewed with an eye toward improving future editions. Copyright inquiries are examined carefully, and we may ask for additional documentation before taking any action. You will receive a reply only if follow-up is necessary; we regret that we cannot acknowledge every message individually.
Distinctions Among Common Requests
To help you direct your message appropriately, consider the following examples. A metadata correction might involve a book like Dave Porter's Return to School; Or, Winning the Medal of Honor — Reading Notes if the author’s name is misspelled. A file issue could arise with Little Prudy's Captain Horace — A Closer Reading in PDF if the text appears cut off on a tablet. A copyright question might relate to a title such as The Deaf Shoemaker: To Which Are Added Other Stories for the Young — Context and Discussion if you suspect it is still under protection in your country. General observations about our category structure, such as whether Professor Johnny — A Reader’s Guide belongs under “School Stories” or “Young Readers & Adventures,” are also welcome.
Scope of Our Response
Please understand that we are a small independent operation. We cannot provide research assistance, answer questions about book content, or offer recommendations for further reading. Our focus is on maintaining the accuracy and usability of the catalogue itself. If your message falls outside that scope, we may not be able to respond, but we appreciate your understanding.
Thank you for helping us maintain a reliable and accessible catalogue.
