Esraa | 5 comments After greeting...
For some reason, I would like to know why there is a delay in uploading books whose data has been filled in since the middle of last month?
My question is about a friend's book and its title:
" أنطولوجيا القصة القصيرة السواحيلية"

Thanks Carol for your help, I will review the method of uploading the book’s data with my friend in light of the group’s instructions, and I will tell him to write a post entitled (Open since February). I also benefited from your question in the fourth comment in the post that you referred to regarding the same topic as well.... but I have a new question after reviewing your post: What is meant by searching for robots to discover errors? Thank you again, my dear.

It just means that the bots have introduced a lot of errors into the database & a lot of librarian time is taken up fixing this.

Sorry I confused you!

Thank you for your help, Mr. Martin, that was very useful... I appreciate the amount of pressure on librarians, but we hoped to be among the lucky ones, and my friend’s book was uploaded within a short period, especially since it was among the books displayed at the Cairo International Book Fair 2024, and it talks about anthology of Swahili short stories, and tales from Africa; It was issued by the General Authority for Cultural Palaces in Egypt, but it did not gain sufficient circulation and was not marketed as it should have been, so the group was the best way to introduce this book... I will follow up on the matter and will get back to you about any developments; Thank you again.

Thank you, dear, for the clarification... Never mind; Your kindness and quick response are enough... Thanks for your help to me and my friend.
