As you may have noticed, Goodreads is transitioning to new sources of data for its book records. For years, we've used Amazon's data, and while they have always had certain restrictions and requirements, those terms have gotten harder and harder to adhere to. We have been working diligently to find a new, independent source of data. Amazon has given us until January 30 to stop using their data, and we have to meet this deadline.
So what does this mean for you, the Goodreads Librarian? First, please be assured that none of your reviews or ratings are in danger. Not a single review, comment, shelving, or rating will be lost in this transition. That's the most important thing—your data is 100% safe.
A few of your books may need to be rescued, though, to ensure that your review and rating doesn't move to another edition or to a blank book record. Luckily, you can help us find alternate sources for book editions and rescue those editions.
To see which of your books need to be rescued, click the link below:
Rescue your books!
Rescuing a book is easy. Just click the "Rescue Me!" button next to each book edition that needs help, and fill in the information on the following page. A few keystrokes can help preserve these book editions for millions of future readers.
If you don't have any books in need of rescue, you can help us by rescuing other books from our catalog by clicking the link below:
Rescue books for other users
If you have any questions about this process, please don't hesitate to contact us.
So please rescue your books before the January 30 deadline. It takes only a few clicks, and you will be helping to make sure that Goodreads continues to provide the most accurate book information possible. Thanks so much for your help and for your continued passion for Goodreads!
