[DONE] US Libraries

[Cyndi Marie ☆★Audiobook Addict★☆]

The Librarian Manual mentions specific Non-US Libraries as an approved source for information and covers but doesn't mention US Libraries at all. I am assuming they are ok but I wanted to ask just to be 100% sure.

I know this probably seems obvious but I feel like I can never be sure with Goodreads so it's better to ask than to just assume.

I also searched this group for the answer and found nothing.
Thanks in advance.

When looking at the Acceptable Sources Lists, it mentions National Libraries of the World, click the link and the first listing is the USA.

Thank You , I didn't click the link and should have.

I assumed that that the link for the National Libraries was for the Non US Libraries since it says "Use this site to find non-US libraries, some even have English based sites in addition to the native language, so this would be a good resource for librarians rescuing non-English books."

Now I know for sure! Thank you for your help!

Many individual US libraries are fine. However, any powered by Overdrive/Libby or other systems that have terms of use which disallow use of their data, are a problem.
