Anne Marie | 6 comments How does i add a volume cover image to an existing volume that doesn't have ane all the same?

bulletin 2: by Amara (new)

Amara Tanith (aftanith) Assuming you have an image set up to upload:

1) Click "edit details" on the specific edition's folio.
2) Underneath where it says "Add a cover paradigm for this volume.", click "Choose", then notice and select your image file.
three) Click upload photograph, then you're done.


Anne Marie | 6 comments Oh, cheers Amara! I was looking for something similar to when one first uploads a volume (in the top right mitt corner with the "browse" 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 practice that and I all see is:

"Your permissions will but permit the editing of the metadata"

In that location is no "Add a cover epitome for this volume."

So at present what do I do?

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

Unless when adding a new book not already on Goodreads and so anyone, not just librarians, tin add together a cover.

And so anyone can add a book and all its information plus a embrace but only librarians can add together a cover to an existing book that lacks a encompass. Does that make sense? No. I didn't retrieve so either just that'southward the mode it works.

Vicky (librovert) | 2459 comments Only librarians can brand changes to books already existing in the database, which includes adding or changing the encompass art. This makes perfect sense because leaving these things open up to all members would upshot in many changes that do not abide by the librarian manual.

I suspect information technology would be difficult to leave covers open to all users to add while even so keeping the residual of the volume locked down.

Yes of course. What doesn't make sense is that any joker tin join Goodreads and add new books to the database whether or non the information is accurate and whether or non the book actually exists and whether or not 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. So if a user is adding things that should not be added, they don't usually terminal long.

Thank goodness for that~!

I do sometimes see separate listings generated by alternate spellings of author'south names and different editions of the same book not being combined but information technology is minimal.

I'm pleasantly surprised that you are so well organized and on top of things. I don't know how you do it but I'g so pleased that you accept this place so shipshape.

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

Thank you!
