ao late 0326; have looked at some of #45 #47 at least, perhaps not systematically (as well as reading current page that will be #52); probably should use a separate subpage for Community Portal alone

2022-03-23 at public library after investigation of (book cover) scan capabilities.

Rtrace - new cover image for Charmed Life, exc quality, only 44KB!

Rtrace, Annie - current discussion of magazine titles at Rules & Standards. What are the implications for single-story collections. What makes the Tauchnitz Edition of British [or American] a magazine or publication series?

(urgent save)

Cover art titles and Amazon URLs at Community Portal. Have we only the single discussion. What is recommended procedure for improving 20+ transient PV that linke "images/P" cover at Amazon?

2022-03-23 work on comeback
NEED new user page soon

incorporate works as subject of (auto)Biography? --Ahasuerus showed some interest a couple years ago

Nesbit children's novels --above the threshold?

editors who retired and deleted verifications

scope of the complete database without user data --private tags; editor and moderator names, etc

what is the structure of the database

multiple dustjackets for same publication?

verification of HathiTrust digital copies (routinely without spine or dustjacket images, something missing cover and more)

External ID "BNB" now handles "GB" (and perhaps "B") style British Library IDs P518250

Does this depend on vagaries of BL coding?

(The linked BL record contains "BNB GB7124244" in the Identifiers field

where is this ?

Ahasuerus 2018-12-19

astonishing interpretation of OCLC ID and OCLC secondary verification

Aha -12-21 My tentative take on them is that OCLC IDs effectively supersede OCLC verifications. The additional information that secondary verifications provide -- the "N/A" capability, the name of the editor and the date of the verification -- doesn't seem to add much as long as we have OCLC IDs.

Vasha -12-21 That is a good plan. I also think there's likely no need to double-check the OCLC IDs that don't have verifications; although doubtless some of them are wrong, they're no more likely to be wrong than the verified ones.

Annie -12-21 I had found the name of the OCLC verifier useful - they are usually the source of a lot (if not all) of the information in the record and additional questions often find answers by asking them when there is no PVs or when they are inactive.
