 Chele (cheleakahulagirl) | 164 comments I came across this page and I am curious if this is indeed the way to set up a series page which includes different authors. I couldn't find the explanation or directions in the Librarian's Manual under Series.

This is the book I shelved: Baker's Bargain. I clicked the link next to the author and it brought me to this page:
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

Can someone tell me if this is the correct format? It looks more like an author's page rather than a series page. TIA.

It definitely is not.

Thank you Arenda and rivka. I'm still new at being a librarian and didn't want to change or make corrections until I asked the experts

No problem. When in doubt, please ask.
A series has to be created from the book page of one of the books from the series. The other books in a series have to be added on the series pages.
See: https://www.goodreads.com/help/show/3...

What was confusing about this series, was that Amazon had the series name as a secondary author, and it got imported to Goodreads.
When it is a valid series according to GR policy, it doesn't matter if it is by one author, or multiple authors.
