Digital Library
An editor's job requires constant learning about a variety of things, starting from the proper use of prepositions and finishing with rare text formats, new grammatical tendencies and stylistic peculiarities of technical manuals. The Internet offers an opportunity to access information about anything you want, including editing. Yet, not all publications are reliable and equally useful. It is no wonder that it is quite hard for a newcomer to navigate the flow of information the Internet offers to find the right source to consult. For our editors' convenience, we created a mini digital library to have all useful and reliable web sources listed in one place. So, when you face some difficulty while editing, refer to our digital library and most likely you will find the right source to address the issue at hand.
