Anne Marie | 6 comments How does one add a book comprehend image to an existing book that doesn't take ane withal?

bulletin two: by Amara (new)

Amara Tanith (aftanith) Assuming yous have an image gear up to upload:

1) Click "edit details" on the specific edition's page.
two) Underneath where it says "Add a cover image for this book.", click "Choose", then find and select your image file.
iii) Click upload photograph, then you lot're done.


Anne Marie | 6 comments Oh, give thanks yous Amara! I was looking for something similar to when one showtime uploads a volume (in the top correct hand corner with the "scan" push button) & couldn't find anything. I though the "edit details" was for editing my personal review of a book! I'll try that now=:)

I do that and I all see is:

"Your permissions will just allow the editing of the metadata"

In that location is no "Add a cover image for this book."

So at present what practice I practise?

Elena | 12 comments Only librarians tin can add cover images. You tin ask a librarian to add the comprehend for you or apply to become a librarian yourself.

Unless when adding a new book not already on Goodreads then anyone, non just librarians, tin can add together a comprehend.

So anyone can add a volume and all its data plus a comprehend but just librarians can add a encompass to an existing volume that lacks a cover. Does that make sense? No. I didn't think so either but that'due south the style it works.

Vicky (librovert) | 2459 comments Only librarians tin can make changes to books already existing in the database, which includes calculation or changing the cover art. This makes perfect sense because leaving these things open to all members would result in many changes that do non abide by the librarian manual.

I doubtable information technology would be difficult to leave covers open to all users to add while however keeping the residue of the book locked down.

Yes of course. What doesn't make sense is that any joker can join Goodreads and add new books to the database whether or not the data is accurate and whether or not the book actually exists and whether or non it is a duplication.

Really, they need to have been a member for a minimum number of days, and must have a verified email address.

And we have several librarians who regularly check all newly-added books. And then if a user is adding things that should non be added, they don't usually last long.

I exercise sometimes meet divide listings generated by alternate spellings of author's names and different editions of the same book non being combined merely it is minimal.

I'm pleasantly surprised that you are so well organized and on top of things. I don't know how you practice it but I'm and then pleased that yous have this place so shipshape.

I profoundly appreciate the difficult work by some very talented people who have earned my utmost respect.
