Billinghurst, I've had this discussion with the OL developers, and as yet there is not a clear path. The books in OL have come in through an Internet Archive workflow, and there isn't an easy way (yet) to add books through another source. In addition, we have talked about adding corrected djvu files, keeping them separate somehow from the originals but making them the preferred files. There is also the question of developing other formats from the djvu (epub, etc.). At the moment the formats are all derived from the original OCR.
If there is already a record in OL for the book you have, you can always add a link (URL) in the record. The book will not show in the list of ebooks, but the link will show on the page. You could give it a caption like "Corrected ebook (djvu)". kc On 4/4/14, 2:45 AM, billinghurst wrote: > The Wikisources (https://www.wikisource.org/) have many public domain > works that we have transcribed, modern and historical.
