Adam | 34 comments Hi,

I'm a librarian on here, but not a super librarian, I used to be able to add an ISBN to a book if it was missing an ISBN. I don't know if that ability has been removed or if there is something up with this listing. I just got this book in the mail today and usually these game books don't come over onto the database with the ISBN attached for some reason, but I've been collecting all of them and adding them manually.

Here is the book:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Here is the ISBN:
9781785814730

Thank you

Just to make sure I understand. If an ISBN is blank, super librarians cannot add ISBN's either? Has this been entirely removed from users? Because I added blank ones all the time before.

David Raz (davidraz) | 12772 comments Once an ASIN is added, which is something the bot did in this case, librarians cannot edit the ISBN fields, including populating empty ones. Only employees can edit those fields.

Ah ok, thanks for letting me know! I was so confused about this because I'm a bit of an intermittent user and only fix up stuff I come across in my collection of books.

I sent it over to their support area and they added the ISBN. Thanks for letting me know all this info!
