Werner | 109 comments Storm of Magick by L. A. Burton is the first book in her Logan Wolf Chronicles series. In the Goodreads description, however, the series number note (in parentheses after the title) has the series title transposed into "Wolf Logan." I thought this would be a simple typo correction completed inside of a minute, but I was wrong. :-(

In the editing mode, it appears this particular record does NOT have the series information written in the same box(es) as the title information, where it can be similarly edited. Instead, the (erroneous) series name appears nmuch further down the record, and in the form of a clickable link which refuses to allow any kind of correction. Help! Is there a more experienced and knowledgable librarian out there who knows how to deal with this problem?

Werner | 109 comments Thanks, Paula! (I'd found the series link on the bottom half of the book edit page; I just don't know how to edit it. I'm not the world's most computer-adept Goodreads librarian. :-( )

Paula (paulaan) | 7014 comments Click on the link, then on the series page there is an edit link by the series title

Werner | 109 comments DUH! (Slaps forehead in self-disgust. :-) ) Thanks, Paula! If that had been a snake, it would have bit me. :-) Now I'll know what to do if I ever run into this situation again.
