Goodreads Librarians Group discussion

Hello,

I am not certain if this happened when the books were merged, but the metadata is missing from my book. I do not know how many keywords you allow, but perhaps you allow the same number as Amazon? :) Here are the ones I use on my Amazon page:

shadowbane, hobbit, lord of the rings, tolkien, fantasy, magic, epic

Thank you

GR does not use meta data or keywords in any meaningful way. Where did you think they where?

Tthe closet it comes is the names of the shelves readers choose to add books too.

When I go to edit the details of the book there is a "Show Metadata" tab along the top, and it is empty. Why is it there if it is unused?

It is left over from the early days and not used anymore. (It's probably too complicated to remove.)

Ok, nevermind then. Thanks
