I am a new volunteer for recording and was wondering if there are any chapters left in this section that could be claimed?
Thank you!
Hi Sreevidyan, Welcome to LibriVox!
We're glad you are interested in recording something for the Short Nonfiction Collection. This collection works like this: there are openings for readers if the Magic Window shows some sections that have not been claimed, so readings numbered 16 through 18 of Vol. 34 are "open" right now. We don't, however, have
assigned readings; readers make their own choices of readings: This is how it's done:
" Please select and record any short nonfiction piece in the public domain. For clarification of what it means for a work to be "in the public domain," please see this section of the LibriVox Wiki: http://wiki.librivox.org/index.php/Copyright_and_Public_Domain. Try to stick to works that run less than 60 minutes. You are welcome to contribute as many as you wish, and there is no need to "sign-up" before recording...as long as the work is clearly in the public domain, just start recording. Multiple versions are always welcome, so don't worry whether someone else has recorded your selection already; we're happy to hear your version too. "
"If you haven't something already in mind that you'd like to record, there are many bookshelves at Gutenberg.org filled with public domain nonfiction to explore http://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Category:Bookshelf. The bookshelves for Countries, Education, Fine Arts, History, Music, Periodicals, and Technology are some places to start.The Nonfiction Collection also has a Wiki page with recording suggestions you might enjoy: http://wiki.librivox.org/index.php/Short_Nonfiction_Suggestions.
We'd be pleased to have your contribution to Vol. 34. if you have any more questions, please feel free to ask. We're always glad to help.
Best wishes,
Sue (Book Coordinator for the Nonfiction Collection)
