This project is now complete! All audio files can be found on our catalog page: http://librivox.org/american-psychology-1922-1947/
Many thanks to staff at the American Psychological Association, Taylor and Francis and Phi Beta Kappa who have helped us to establish that these papers can be recorded legally by volunteers who live in the United States or countries that recognise the Rule of the Shorter Term.
Rule of the Shorter Term applies to many countries, including Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, France, Greece, Hungary, India, Israel, Italy, Jordan, The Netherlands, Poland, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom. Canada does not apply the Rule, but sections 1 and 3 can be recorded by Canadians, because of the death dates of the authors. Section 1 can also be recorded in any country that has a death +70 rule.
This is the second of what is intended to be three projects featuring journal articles which chart the development of psychology as an academic discipline in the United States during the twentieth century. This collection includes key texts in the development of behaviourism, neuropsychological testing, the psychology of race and humanist therapeutic psychology.
- How to claim a part, and 'how it all works' here
To find a section to record, simply look at point 5. below at the sections. All the ones without names beside them are “up for grabs.” Click "Post reply" at the top left of the screen and tell us which section you’d like to read (include the section number from the left-most column in the reader list, please). Read points 6. to 8. below for what to do before, during and after your recording. - New to recording?
Please read our Newbie Guide to Recording! - Is there a deadline?
We ask that you submit your recorded sections within 1-2 months of placing your claim (or by the target completion date, whatever is sooner). Please note that to be fair to the readers who have completed their sections in a timely way, if you haven't submitted your recording(s) after two months, your sections will automatically be re-opened for other readers to claim, unless you post in this thread to request an extension. Extensions will be granted at the discretion of the Book Coordinator. If you cannot do your section, for whatever reason, just let me know and it’ll go back to the pool. There’s no shame in this; we’re all volunteers and things happen. The target completion date for this project is 31 March 2012. - Where do I find the text?
Source text (please only read from this text!): See the links in the Magic Window Below. Please read footnotes, but do not read any notes made by the webmaster of the site you are reading from. Please ask if you come across diagrams and are not sure how to handle them. - Please claim sections (the numbers in the first column below)!
If this is your first recording, please let me know under which name or pseudonym you'd like to appear in the LibriVox catalogue. We can also link to a personal website/blog.
Prospective Prooflisteners: Please read the Listeners Wanted FAQ before listening!
Level of prooflistening requested: Word perfect - please check that readings accurately reflect the text.

Need noise-cleaning?
Listen to your file through headphones. If you can hear some constant background noise (hiss/buzz), you may want to clean it up a bit. The new (free) version 1.3.3. of Audacity (Mac/Win) has much improved noise-cleaning. See this LibriVox wiki page for a complete guide.
