The last two weeks: Adding books to your Bookshelf, Food Season is back at The British Library and more

For our new members, we want to review adding books to your Bookshelf. A member asked recently why the US edition of a UK book was not listed in the Library. It was but was linked to the edition we indexed. Here’s an example of how it works: Claudia Roden’s Mediterranean: Treasured Recipes from a Lifetime of Travel is the US issue of the UK book Med: A Cookbook which is the edition we indexed. In order for the member to add the US book to her Bookshelf, she would need to add the ISBN to Import Books, under the My Bookshelf tab (because searching for the book by the US title or ISBN would not provide a result as the title is linked to the UK master). Importing the ISBN would result in the book being added to the member’s Bookshelf. The other alternative is to search by the author name and filter the results by date published and this will appear:

The member would then click on the link symbol circled in the photo above which would result in the following:

Then the member can click on the ISBN for the US title and bring up the record to add the book to their Bookshelf. For more on book results see our Help section.

Another helpful post that we keep updated with new features is our Ideas on how to make EYB work better for you.
