Goodreads Librarians Group discussion

Need a super/head librarian to contact me I have a question I do not want posted that I am not finding listed on the site.

You will find most supers don't do private questions. You need staff

This is about something specific for librarians according to rules and a dispute.

well, not a dispute, something was said to me by someone in a message and it's really getting to me, not a head/super librarian and after all the books and periodicals I've gone through I am questioning...

Best to take it to staff. Good luck! :)

Hi Ashby,

If this is about my comment concerning imprints in the Announcement thread, I linked to the appropriate section in the Librarian Manual, so I'm not sure what more clarification you need.

I did notice that I initially wrote 'edition field' instead of 'publisher field', so I apologize for any confusion that may have caused. I have corrected it in the meantime.

Basically, if you stick to the publisher name as it is printed on the title page (or spine) of the book, and not to the name on the reverse title page, you cannot go wrong. Also, abbreviations such as 'Ltd.' and 'Inc' do not add anything meaningful, so they can be left out.

Generally, you should tread very carefully when changing information that is already on the book record. If you do not have the book in hand and/or do not know its ISBN, you cannot be sure that your changes are correct.

Hopefully this has cleared up any misunderstandings.
