Netgalley as source [DONE]

[gem]

According to multiple posts from rivka, Netgalley is not an acceptable source for book data. However, it's not included in the "not acceptable" list on the corresponding Librarian's Manual page Acceptable sources for covers and book data.

In my opinion, it doesn't clearly fall under the "third party/non-publisher bookseller sites" category because they don't sell books, they give away ARC's for free. Therefore it would be helpful to list the site by name in the "unacceptable" list.

edit: Investigating further, apparently it's ok to use cover images from Netgalley? The Manual should be updated with this caveat if so.

Thanks gem. I'll look to update the Manual with Netgalley as an acceptable source for covers, but not book data. Will confirm here once done. 😊

Confirming this change has been made 😊 I've added an announcement to the Additions to the Librarian Manual folder:
