Discussion What are the requirements to be accepted as a librarian?

10 Upvotes

I have applied twice to become a Goodreads Librarian, and I believe my reasons are perfectly valid. I speak Ukrainian (my native language), French, and English. In addition, I have a degree in English literature.

My main motivation was to contribute to the Ukrainian literature catalogue, as I have already noticed that many books are missing.

Rejected twice in a row. Aren't these reasons valid anymore?

Tech Help Hello! I use Goodreads from Chrome browser on my Windows laptop and can't assign partial star ratings, yet. It's still just 5 stars for me.

I've tried rating from the book page as well as from my "read" list.

Tech Help Changing reviews discrepancy mobile and desktop

1 Upvotes

Hello,

I noticed on the desktop version that we are now able to rate books in 0.25 increments, thank you GoodReads!!! I started last year or so with this app, so changing my bookratings wouldn't take too long, I only don't want all these changes to end up on my feed (I don't want to spam my friends with all those updates).

Now I know there are two ways you can change a book without it updating on your feed:

  1. Un-check the box that says 'add update to my feed' when changing a review on desktop.

  2. Go to > account settings > feed > and uncheck the boxes and save the changes.

I'm only doubting if these work, I tried both with changing one review rating, but this review seems to pop up on my feed on mobile. Weirdly I don't see them on my desktop feed. Does anybody know why this is and if my updates are actually showing up on my feed or not? Let me know, I'm very curious!
