Jamie (janecometrue) | 7 comments The number of pages is incorrect as listed on this book's profile page. The correct number of pages is 335.

Jamie (janecometrue) | 7 comments Can a librarian contact me? I have a couple of questions. Thanks


Lady Jaye (lady-jaye) | 47 comments Hi Jamie. Worldcat has the book listed with 283 pages.

So I'm figuring it's best not to chaage the number of pages. Maybe an older librarian can help/make a final decision?


Jamie (janecometrue) | 7 comments Hi there,

I have a copy of the book in my hand (triple checked the ISBN)and the book ends at 335 (including the afterword, which the librarian manual says to do as long as the pages are numbered and not in roman numeral format.) Amazon has it listed as 352 pages, which is also incorrect.

I recently became a librarian to correct it, but when clicking "edit details" on the books profile page, I'm only presented with the meta data to edit and nothing else (not the publisher, author, or in the case I'm pursuing, page number.) Any ideas? Thanks for responding by the way :)


Lady Jaye (lady-jaye) | 47 comments what's the isbn you have?


Beth (bethjustbeth) | 1568 comments Fixed the page #'s.

On the librarian status...you're not showing as having librarian status, *yet.* Metadata came about after I became a librarian, so I'm not completely sure, but I think every member has access to that page.

Hope that helps...

Beth (bethjustbeth) | 1568 comments Aaaaand changing the page number back...lol. Nice catch, Lady Jaye!


Jamie (janecometrue) | 7 comments Thanks Beth. I just joined the group like 20 minutes ago, so perhaps it just hasn't processed yet. I'll give it some time. And thanks for correcting that! I look forward to being able to make corrections.


Jamie (janecometrue) | 7 comments What did she catch? I genuinely apologize if I don't know what I'm doing, but I have the book in my hand and it ends on page 335. The page number on the profile page for this ISBN reads 352, which is incorrect.

Beth (bethjustbeth) | 1568 comments Nope...you're okay. The book link, above, takes us to a different version of the book. The one that showed 283 pages was a different isbn. I jumped the gun and changed the wrong one. Lady Jaye's question, and your answer, made me realize it. I need to leave edits this time of night to my more alert west-coast associates. :)


Jamie (janecometrue) | 7 comments Thanks again, you guys are great. I'll just wait for my librarian status to come through. :) I just clicked join group, and it said I was added, but maybe it needs some time.

Jamie, joining the group is not the same as applying for librarian status. The group is open to all GR members, librarian or not.

Applications to become a librarian are reviewed about every 24-48 hours.
