Resource Library: Errors and omissions

Resource Library

Errors and omissions

Errors of fact and material omissions which were the case at the time of original publication of articles and essays are promptly amended when Resource Library is satisfied as to the legitimacy of the source and veracity of the corrections. Since the publication is archival and a component of the TFAO digital library [1], facts accurate and true at the time of original publication are not altered. Depending on the circumstances, Resource Library may elect to replace text or to note an amendment in an editor's note. Often the source of the amendment is cited with contact information for the benefit of students and scholars.

Although an infrequent occurrence, permissions obtained to re-key and reprint previously copyrighted text may prove at a later date to be incomplete or to have been granted in error. In those cases Resource Library promptly removes the related text from the Web until complete permissions are obtained.

Resource Library seeks to maintain a 99.995% accuracy rate [2] in reprinting scholarly texts. This rate of fidelity to the author's original text is accomplished through a combination of mechanical processes and human proofreading.

Previously published publicity articles may be amended from time to time to add additional content, usually in the form of editor's notes. Also, images provided by text sources are added to articles as the images become available. When this is done an amendment date is posted at the end of the article.
