Thanks

All set on messages 453, 454, and 455, Sheila!

Thanks Kara. That was quick. Did I give adequate info? because I have more additions.

Yes, the ISBN was very helpful--it allows us to get the right edition directly from worldcat.

I was wondering if you would add a cover to Stone Cold large print edition. The GR listing also doesn't state that it is Large Print could you edit that as well?

Thanks

Same as above the large print copy of The Innocent doesn't have a cover.

Thanks

Same as above the large print copy of Dead by Nightfall doesn't have a cover

Thank you

Looks like you are working on your covers, Sheila. Some of my books are so old that no cover is available or at least I can't find it...and no ISBN to help. :(

Good luck finding yours.

I suppose the edition you wanted changed is the one belonging to the given ISBN (as opposed to that that you linked to)?

Then you should have your cover now: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/60...

Eta: Dead by Nightfall also done: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/12...

Wow, that was speedy. Is there anyway that I can do this myself and save you time?

While all users can add new book editions (although not combine them), only librarians can edit existing entries.

However, you could become a librarian yourself (as far as I know the only requirement is to have 50 books on your GR shelves, but that isn't really an obstacle, is it? ;)

Here's the link to the librarian manual, which also provides a link to the "application form": http://www.goodreads.com/help/librari... (direct link to application: http://www.goodreads.com/about/apply_...)

I always prefer to edit wrong or missing data myself, when I stumble across it instead of having to bother someone else and waiting until it is fixed. And it gives you instant pleasure for having done a good deed for the day (and making GR better does count as good deed in this sense). And it helps in procrastinating when I should actually be studying some more public law (as I should now, so I'll better stop my rambling now and get to the studying part that inevitable comes after the procrastination).

Thanks Isabell maybe I'll do that. I believe I have over 50 books on my shelves. More like 2,000

can someone add the pages for this book Bayou Myth amazon shows 240 pages.


thanks

We can't use information directly from Amazon - but if you own or have borrowed the book from the library or a friend and can confirm that it's 240, it'll be good enough for me. :)

I just added another edition of Anne McCaffrey's The Rowan. Please combine.

Mine has fewer pages and is an Ace/Putnam Edition. Also there is no ISBN. I did not add a cover as it should be the same as the others; but in case, it is needed:

Another cover to add, please. ISBN 0517572524

Please add this cover to ISBN 0892963697:

Please add these page counts:

ISBN 0747519250 - 358pp

ISBN 0892963697 - 185pp

ISBN 9657108357 - 447pp (includes 5pp of acknowledgements and glossary)

ISBN 0449910741 - 422pp

ISBN 0525943250 - 244pp

ISBN 0962077208 - 358pp (includes 9pp of references, author's note, acknowledgements, and glossary)

ISBN 051758977X - 457pp

ISBN 0670883875 - 140pp

ISBN 1558748253 - 213pp (includes 19pp of Modern-Day Goddess Communication (address of author), About the Author, and Books and Resources with two white pages separating these three sections but numbering continued as if the white pages had a number)

Hi Bea,

I just became a librarian so I am still learning about this. I do know that in order to add the covers and info that you provided that I need to know the source of your information.

If information is supplied directly from a reader it's safe to assume they have a physical copy of the book and that's a reasonable source. We only worry about bad sources when users direct us to sites like Amazon/B&N for the information.

Sheila wrote: "Hi Bea,

Sheila, I own each of the books I listed or have them in hand from the library.

Congrats, Sheila. If you need any help/have questions, just let me know. I'd be glad to help.

I combined the newly created edition with the others and added the cover (covers are not added to new editions when combining, so when you have one at hand you can always add that to the edition you create, but it's no great matter to add it afterward, either).

In case you need it, here is the link to your edition: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/14...

OK thanks Vicky and Isabell. The librarian thing is a bit intimidating to me. I mainly requested to become a librarian so I wouldn't have to keep bugging you guys but I would love to become confident enough to help others as well. I haven't finished reading the manual yet though. Been too busy working on my "plan". Actually I am working on Isabell's task right now.

Added the covers of messages 471 and 472.

Sheila, that's why I'am a librarian as well and mostly I just correct the database entries for the books I own/get from the library. Sometimes I clean up other records that cross my way when I notice something that should be corrected. I've gone through the manual step-by-step whenever I needed some more information.

The new plan keeps me busy as well (I should be working for my studies, but it's always so much more fun to try and find books for the different tasks). I hope you find something you like for the task (and for the rest of the tasks as well).

Thanks, everyone. One of these days, I hope to be a librarian also...but now too busy with working and reading. So I appreciate the help.

Just went out to the link and noticed that my edition - like all the others - is labeled as series "Pegasus/The Tower and the Hive #4". Everything I found said that The Rowan is book #1 of The Tower and the Hive, which is how I entered it. Is the GR series label correct?

My copy is too old to show any series at all.

I got all the page numbers from post #473 and I'm working on the Ann McCafferty series. It looks all the books from the Pegasus and The Tower and the Hive series are part of the greater series "The Talents Universe" so I'm going to split them into their sub-series and get them situated. :)

Thanks, Vicky. I sure seem to have given a lot of librarians a workout today. I really do appreciate the help.

No problem, fixing books is a much needed distraction from the daunting work projects in working on today. :)

Please correct the title of ISBN 0060973897. It is just Lakota Woman. It may be a "tie - in" with the movie but that is not part of the title.

msg. 485 done.

Sheila wrote: "msg. 485 done."

Thanks, Sheila

as listed having 688 pages, it actually has 672 pages. I am reading this trade paperback right now. I don't want to cheat when I claim a big book ticket. Thanks!

I got 488 :)

Hi, I found a few ebooks that have paperbook versions available but they are not entered in Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ. Can you please add them?

Done Being Friends by Trisha Grace, paperback version available but not on GR




Finding Kate Huntley by Theresa Ragan, paperback version available but not on GR




Midnight Sun by M.J. Fredrick, paperback version available but not on GR



Also, this book needs page numbers added, please.

Mr Right For The Night by Marisa Mackle, needs page numbers added (407 pages)

Thanks Vicky ;-p

I've added the page numbers of the last book (the page number was confirmed by WorldCat).

However, the first three paperback editions are a bit more problematic. We are not supposed to use amazon as a data source (see this post by rivka in the librarian group regarding requests to add books to the database: http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/8...), so I'd need another source (author's website perhaps?).

It's always a valid data source if you have the book in hand and provide the information you get directly from your copy.

Thank you. I have those three in ebook format and thought I should get the paper version entered so I didn't need to get them verified for length. They were all published by either Amazon Digital Services or Createspace (which is also Amazon) and either the author's don't have a website or it just links the book back to Amazon. I found 2 others that will work instead of Done Being Friends and Finding Kate Huntley but I need to keep working on Midnight Sun since it is a recommendation from a friend for a challenge.

I found this info on isbndb dot com.

Does that work?

That should work. I'll add the edition once I get home later today.

Deanna wrote: "Hi, I found a few ebooks that have paperbook versions available but they are not entered in Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ. Can you please add them?

I've added both the paperback edition to Finding Kate Huntley (they had data on that on isbndb as well) and Midnight Sun to the database and combined them with the existing entries.

Unfortunately I still couldn't find anything for Done Being Friends.

Hi Isabell,

Since I am new to this librarian thing I am "stalking" you and Vicky. When you added Midnight Sun did you just copy the write up about the story from another edition or did you add it anew from what showed on the isbn site? Was the reason you didn't add the cover on the left there because it was a link to Amazon?

I tried entering the isbn # in world cat and nothing showed up, why is that?

I've got myself my first stalker, yeah.

I added the description from isbndb, but that isn't strictly necessary. When you have a description for one edition that is set as default description (there is a checkbox under the large field to enter the description that lets you select your current edition's as new default description), that is usually used for all editions that don't have a description of their own (so as long as there is one edition with description, it's not too important to add one to the newly created editions).

Yes, that's exactly the reason I didn't add the cover, because isbndb only links to amazon and we are not supposed to use amazon data (or any other bookseller), so it's better to leave the cover empty for now until someone with a scan or another valid source provides it. If we really needed a cover I suppose we could add it from one of the other versions as they are all the same, but I'd only do that if I was really certain that the covers match and it was really needed/asked for.

I tried entering the isbn in worldcat as well (actually, that was my first effort to find another source for Deanna's books) without success. I suppose that worldcat doesn't have the CreateSpace books listed, but that's just my guess. It just shows that worldcat doesn't have everything (I sometimes come across editions that are not listed there, but usually it's a good source to find missing page numbers or even the original titles for translations).

Bless you! You are great. I bookmarked the isbndb site so I can check there for any future books I find that need tweaking. I end up with lots of free ebooks from POI and ENT that are self published and it is hard to find info anywhere but Amazon. Thank you for all that you do.

Thanks Isabell for the info. I really want to do this the right way from the start.

I only have the kindle edition.

JennRenee wrote: "Vicky wrote: "JennRenee wrote: "can someone add the pages for this book Bayou Myth amazon shows 240 pages. ..."

Can you use the ISBN number? 9780984657810.

JennRenee wrote: "JennRenee wrote: "Vicky wrote: "JennRenee wrote: "can someone add the pages for this book Bayou Myth amazon shows 240 pages. ..."

I also found info at ISBNLIB.ORG of that is a good info site.

Thanks to you librarians ;-) I'm too afraid to become one, even though I have enough books on my shelves to become a librarian.

I took the plunge and became a Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ librarian.

I'll stalk Vicky, mstan, and others until I feel more confident to make major changes. I can do easy ones.
