Mattias (mkling) | 37 comments 1,
In the Librarian Manual, section on "List of acceptable sources for book covers and other book data" there is a list of national sources. Unfortunately no Swedish sources are listed and we are actually quite a few working on adding books. So, please add to that list:

Swedish online searchable national catalogue maintained by the National Library of Sweden
http://libris.kb.se/

List of all Swedish publishers, with online links
http://www.kb.se/isbn-centralen/svens...


2,
The Library Manual sections "Adding book cover images" and "List of acceptable sources for book covers and other book data" both explore the same issue, from different point of view. Still, maybe they could be moved next to each other? Somewhat confusing as it is now.

3,
We could possibly add a link (beginning or bottom) in the manual to this forum section? Something like "To suggest changes/improvements, post [here]".

Mattias, for a source to be approved to be added to that list, it must be sent via Contact Us on the help page.

2) They come up with different searches. The duplication is deliberate.

Mattias (mkling) | 37 comments Ok. Thanks!

Since this is a section for Librarian Manual additions, it is easy to think that we place suggestions here. Maybe add a sticky that says something in line with "discussions here, actual suggestinos to staff att contact page".

Actually, with the exceptions of that list, I can make most changes.

B. Truly (brandytruly) | 8 comments Hello,
I am not sure if this is the right group or not, but can someone please add this picture for my author profile. I was able to add it on my regular profile, but it won't except it under my author profile. Thanks.

Cait (tigercait) | 4988 comments B., this isn't the right thread for this request. Ordinarily I would ask you to start a new thread in this group -- please do start a new thread if you have any requests for handling book records! -- but in this case I can tell you that librarians don't have access to perform edits to the author profiles of people in the GR Author program. You'll need to either ask for advice on profile pictures in the GR Author group or contact support and ask them to edit your profile directly.

Sam (scbooks19) | 5 comments Hello, I'm not sure if my problem fits in this section?! I would like to remove a request on book suggestions under: book recommendation (that I place over year ago). How do I close that request, so it doesn't show up on goodreads?


message 8: by Cait (new)

Cait (tigercait) | 4988 comments Sam, that's actually a question for an entirely different group. You should probably ask that in the Feedback group:

Ivo Brasil (ivobj) | 14 comments The cover of

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...

is this address in Amazon:

http://www.amazon.com/Evangelho-Segun...

Is it possible to manually conrrect (I tryed, but got the message that I can only edit metadata, although I applied for liberian status).

Tks
