Christine Schulze | 3 comments Hello fellow librarians. Hoping someone can help. I received a concerning email this morning from Goodreads support claiming that I recently violated the librarian policy by changing this book's cover and title instead of creating a new edition. This is untrue. The old editions are still present here on Goodreads. I republished the book over a year ago and created new editions for the book at that time. I cannot recall any recent changes I tried to make to the title. This is the first violation I have ever received and as far as I can tell, it's unfounded. I don't want to be in danger of losing my account. I did reply to the Goodreads support email but I didn't know if it was best to seek assistance here instead.

If I truly have violated policy I would be happy to be shown how so I can avoid in the future. However, according to what the email is saying, I don't think it makes sense. Again, I did create new editions of the book instead of trying to override the old versions. And I would have done so about a year ago now, not "recently." Is this in error, or am I missing something, or is it possible my account was hacked?

Thanks so much for your time and help.

or just reply to the email you got.
