Teahouse question

In the process of looking at the archives I found this unanswered question. Is this the right place to ask it?— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 22:16, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it is. And sure, a search option for books in Maine can be added. As long as someone suggests a website to add first. Alin2808 (talk) 16:02, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Adding Library System to Source List

I'd like the Timberland Regional Library system to be added to the list of libraries under Libraries > United States > Washington State. The library system covers Grays Harbor, Lewis, Mason, Pacific, and Thurston counties within the state. EndDragon438 (talk) 21:18, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done Added it. Alin2808 (talk) 15:56, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Add TheStoryGraph to list of online databases?

TheStoryGraph is a site similar to GoodReads, which is already on the list, so it should be in scope for the page.

It has a quite large database of books and tools to help people to keep track of to read lists, rate and review books, organize book circles, read-alongs and other activities.

https://thestorygraph.com/

The URL for a given ISBN should probably be https://app.thestorygraph.com/browse?search_term=MAGICNUMBER 212.247.182.250 (talk) 08:55, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Copyright Clearance Center

Do we want to keep Copyright Clearance Center in the list? What would be the justification? While I don't think it's completely meaningless, the chance of being it useful seems slim in the context of clicking an ISBN link in a Wikipedia article. CCC's main service seems to be to help acquiring permission to reuse proprietary content with a fee. (But I doubt it helps you to persuade an author to release their work under CC BY SA.) I found this note in the talk page archives but it didn't provide much reasoning behind the addition. If someone needs help in accessing sources, I think the other links here are enough.
