Many requests are for publications that are free downloads. I do not want to upload these to waste time and resources but give requestors the information they need to obtain the publications themselves.
Since the publication is in the public domain, you can usually download it directly without restrictions. If it's hosted on a site like Project Gutenberg, HathiTrust, or a government archive, just go to the page and look for a download option (usually in PDF, ePub, or plain text). If you're having trouble, feel free to share the link and I can help walk you through it.
To send information on how to download a public domain publication, you can guide someone through the process by first directing them to a reputable source or platform that hosts public domain works, such as Project Gutenberg, Google Books, or Internet Archive. For example, you can explain that on Project Gutenberg, the user should search for the desired title, and once they find it, they’ll be given options to download the publication in different formats such as ePub, Kindle, or plain text. Mention that many public domain publications are also available in PDF format, and users can often access them for free without needing an account or subscription. You can further explain that since the work is in the public domain, they can freely download, share, or use it without any legal restrictions. If necessary, you can provide step-by-step instructions or include a direct link to the publication page.
