I hope all our wonderful Goodreads Librarians had a joyous holiday (for those who celebrate), and will soon have a happy New Year!

Due to some site maintenance, the combine, separate, and delete functions are temporarily unavailable. This will continue until mid-day Monday, January 6 (all times Pacific).

We apologize for the short notice. We were hoping to conduct the end-of-year maintenance without taking down these librarian tools this year. But unfortunately that turned out not to be possible.

Thanks for your understanding! Check back here for all related updates.

Please limit posts in this thread to questions or concerns about the temporary changes to librarian tools.

And thank you for all. Keep the good work in 2020!

Indeed! However, when everyone tries to catch up on a week's worth of edits it can overload the system.

So try to take it easy today, and avoid combines/separates of works with more than 1000 shelvings and/or 100 editions.

Arpy Vanyan (_arpy) | 5 comments Hey guys! I'm trying to combine duplicate book editions, but it just opens the author's page. Is it still turned off?

This is an announcement thread, not for making specific requests. Please start a new thread for requests.

Since the tools appear to be working without any issues of significance, closing thread. If you do see any problems. please use the contact link.
