Aussie Readers discussion

For members who ARE Librarians, and for those who are just CURIOUS.

If you're interested in what's involved with becoming a librarian, follow this link: http://www.africa-eu.com/about/apply_...

For any of you who would like a little help with a book in your collection which mightn't look quite right...eg, incorrect page numbers, incorrect cover, post a link with a query, we'll do our best to help out.

And for librarians to help each other out as well!

Hey, great thread Laura!

No, just the total of the actual story, as far as I know Michael...that's what I enter anyway!

I've never included them in a page count before. I do remember once wondering if you included all the extra stuff at the end of the book like - previews for next book, dictionaries, index and such.

I'm still unsure on all of that so I don't include it.

Working it....

OK Michael, I've created it, but the ISBN seems to match another book/diff author, so I'll continue to check it out...

Can you tell me the publisher too please Michael. I'll look, as with the imports etc, things may have been mixed up!

Fixed Michael, don't know what happened the first time >.<

All done Michael:) Thanks:)

Great thread idea

I see Michael is making the most thread already

I'm 99.99% sure it's only the story..

I don't know if the lib manual includes that? Now I'm curious to find out but I'm sure you're right..Would make more sense.

Maaannnn these tintin books by Michael Farr are really doing my head in. There are some indonesian versions of the books so i went to add the english versions instead after realising I'd "reviewed" them which isn't correct.

I get to the isbn and it's saying it's the same and won't allow me to progress any further. I know ISBNs are meant to be for each book but I thought different language versions would have seperate ISBNs...Or am I wrong?

And what should I do :s

I've more or less asked the same questions in the Lib group as well but just putting this out here as well :)

I'm not sure Laura...I'm glad you asked the same question in the Lib group...I think ISBN's got a bit muddled with the imports for the diff languages, so hopefully someone with more knowledge that myself can help you...sorry!

You've got an answer, and some help Laura:)

Hello librarians,

I thought some of you might be interested in a blog I wrote about why I envy librarians. (My first library was the local rubbish tip.)



(I am new here - I hope it is okay to do this.)

JB, that is a fantastic article written by you....so interesting. We have another thread which you might like to put it into, as I believe lots of others would love to read about your 'beginnings' with books too:) http://www.africa-eu.com/topic/show/5...

Thanks so much for sharing it with us all!

Done! Thanks for showing me around, Brenda.

My pleasure JB:)

Done Michael:)

Michael wrote: "That was quick Brenda. Did you find the blurb for second one? If not i can msg you it. :)"

Sure did Michael, it's quite a long one, but very informative:)

I'd be interested what you think, before I commit to another one on my TBR list!

I was wondering if you wouldn't mind adding the book The Cat on the Mat Is Flat with the same cover as per link



ISBN 978-0-330-42260-4

thanks :)

Done Mish:)

Thanks Brenda :)

I'm a librarian. As yet I haven't done much, but I'd like to update old profiles of some of my favourite authors (1600--1800's). At least I plan to as soon as I find the time.

It's nice to have all the books showing the correct details

Yes, that's why I applied. However I intend to step carefully when adding information or images. I have a GR friend who I can ask and I'm also with the GR librarians group.

And you can check in here anytime Georgina...it's great to have a few of us in this group:)

Great! Will do. :) Georgina.
(I'm also with the GR moderators group, as I co-moderate two groups on GR).

What groups do are you moderator for? I'm currently moderator for Literary Exploration and Pulp Fiction, I love Aussie reads because I can chat about books but I don't have to read the books but I love my groups :D

As eclectic as my tastes.

It looks like I have quite a few friends in your first group.

O.K. Just joined the first one.

Thanks guys, it's always interesting to see the other groups people moderate!

I noticed that we had a few friends in common because of it
