Greg | 108 comments I've manually added a book that has a listing in WorldCat but which does not appear in the Goodreads or other databases. How does one add a link to the WorldCat database entry or does this happen automatically? If the latter, I'm guessing that it takes a little time for the GR database to add the link.

Alternatively, should I have imported the data from WorldCat directly?

My GR entry for the book is here: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/12...

The WordlCat entry is here: http://www.worldcat.org/title/archaeo...

Sandra | 31515 comments Greg, the only way for WorldCat to see your book from GR is for it to read the ISBN.

As the WorldCat entry has no ISBN I don't think they will be able to be linked.

Greg | 108 comments Thanks Sandra. Would it be worth adding a librarian comment with a link to the WorldCat entry?

I don't see any reason to do so.
