Hi folks,
I think BARD is a great service, but the catalog errors are not only
increasing but include author and series issues. For some time I sent errors
to my local library. And after some time they basically recommended I look up
series and author info on other sources. I was told many of the issues would
be fixed in BARD 2.0. So far this is not happening. I’ve even asked for
series info on the app and been given completely different series info.
I’m hopeful BARD will eventually address these errors as it makes it
difficult to follow a series, or even get notified of new books in a series.
Part of the issue is that a series can have multiple series names, in the app.
Sources of places to easily get the info is appreciated, and unfortunately
needed.
