Me please! I'm the deranged perfectionist who changes series titles to be
consistent. (There are a few series that have so so many books that I haven't
changed them yet, but most series are okay.)
Thanks, Carrie

Hello, all.
If we come across a book that is in a series but that doesn't have the
series name as part of its title, which Bookshare staff member would we
contact to have that added?
Thanks.
Christina
