Alexandra Achimov (allexandraach) | 2 comments The old system in which everyone could add a new book and then the request had to be approved by a librarian before showing up on the site was more efficient!

That was never the system. Until last June anyone could add a book. Librarians didn't do approvals. Unfortunately while many people did a good job, in a lot of cases this resulted in a lot of poor quality & infringing copyright book records - which made a lot of work behind the scenes for librarians.

There are still book records from November that haven't been added.

I have no idea what solution is possible.

Instead of posting a new request, it is preferred that the poster bump the original request by replying to it and adding to the topic title that the request is still open. (Not applicable in this case, since the book has already been added.)
