Will do, thank you -- I've been forwarding you the items as I see them from the Open Library email. Here's a recap.
1. Here is one example that has a grumpy emailer at the other end. Haven't emailed you about it yet since there is also a lot of user error involved. http://openlibrary.org/search/authors?q=sherman+keene These two authors have been merged. Expected result would be one result, not two (they both go to the same page) with no "merge these authors" option appearing on that page. User has added additional works (in September) including these two which are not appearing on their author page. http://openlibrary.org/works/OL16806644W/In_Plain_Sight http://openlibrary.org/works/OL16806643W/Felony_Divorce 2. Another higher profile example is the Dean Koontz merge that was done by an overzealous user and then undone (by me and then you helped me to redo it when I wasn't sure it had completed) [emailed October 1] Here is the merge: http://openlibrary.org/recentchanges/2013/09/24/merge-authors/47696714 Here is the Dean Koontz page with zero titles http://openlibrary.org/authors/OL7119293A/Dean_Koontz Here is a search showing all the Dean Koontz books (and some Ed Korman books) still attached to the author Ed Gorman http://openlibrary.org/search?q=ed+gorman 3. This author page [emailed September 3] http://openlibrary.org/authors/OL5132590A/Janice_Rebibo Is not showing a title that belongs to that author and was correctly added in September http://openlibrary.org/works/OL16806345W/My_Beautiful_Ballooning_Heart 4. This author [emailed August 30th] http://openlibrary.org/authors/OL6775565A/Victoria_E._K%C3%BChnhardt shows with no titles on her author page despite having two titles correctly associated with her http://openlibrary.org/works/OL16806308W/Wolkenschloss http://openlibrary.org/books/OL25430075M/The_Enchanted_House_in_the_Woods. 5. This item [emailed August 14th] http://openlibrary.org/works/OL16805869W/De_rede_in_het_nauw is not findable via basic searching for words in the title example 1: http://openlibrary.org/search?q=nauw example 2: http://openlibrary.org/search?q=rede+nauw 6. This book not findable on author page or via search for title words [emailed August 9th] http://openlibrary.org/works/OL16805846W/Dictionnaire_des_onomastismes_qu%C3%A9b%C3%A9cois clicking through author page: http://openlibrary.org/authors/OL7170527A/Gabriel_Martin search: http://openlibrary.org/search?q=onomastismes ________ Jessamyn librarian.net ::: jessamyn.com ::: jessamyn.info ::: box 345, randolph vt 05060 On Mon, Oct 7, 2013 at 7:58 AM, Anand Chitipothu <[email protected]> wrote: > > On 05-Oct-2013, at 8:25 PM, jessamyn c. west wrote: > >> I'm getting a lot of reports of people adding books they can not find >> on their author pages or via Search.
