Best way to write request to librarian?

[Gjuro]

If I have about 20 covers I wish to add, should I write 1 long post or a few smaller posts? Which way is easier for librarians to fulfill? Should I write 5 posts with 4 requests each under same topic or under new topic each?

Or if I run in multiple profiles of the same author, that need merging or correction (or deletion), and books also need merging with original author profile... Sometimes I just put it all in one loooong request. But I've noticed that such requests are 'on hold' for a longer period than small requests, and sometimes end up forgotten.

Is there even enough active librarians?

I'm open to advices and suggestions. Thanks!

Smaller groups make it easier to process your requests. Sometimes a huge long list is just too daunting to tackle. Or you know you only have 10 minutes to do some edits before you have to do something else.

There are a lot of active librarians, but that doesn't mean they all come & read the posts here in the group. Plus there are a lot of different time zones, so at some points there are more librarians around than at others.

Walls of text (one long request) can be quite overwhelming at times and will often get passed over in favour of shorter requests. One suggestion for a way of listing that works for me as a Librarian is to start a new thread and put each book in a separate post. It makes it easier to share the load as Librarian A can say "Working on #1-5" so when Librarian B looks in they can pick up at #6, and so on.
