How to Add a Quote (and thus, make it appear under your review�)
Also, How to Edit a Quote, if you are a GR Librarian

â—� Go to your menu bar and click on the â–� to drop down the menu under Explore
ÌýÌýÌý (Screen #1).
� Click on the green lettered �quotes� under �fun� (which is in bold).

Screen #1

� Check to make sure the quote in NOT already in GoodReads� database. At Screen #2,
ÌýÌýÌý type in the title of the book, and for good measure, the name of the author.
ÌýÌýÌý Then click â€�searchâ€� button.

Screen #2

â—� As shown in Screen #3, scroll down and review all the quotes for that book
ÌýÌýÌý and click â€�likeâ€� button.

â—� GoodReads will prompt you to add to Facebook or Twitter, unless you
ÌýÌýÌý have turned this off.

� If the name of the book does NOT appear beside the author’s name, it will NOT
ÌýÌýÌý appear on your review. To â€�editâ€� this instead of adding another quote, see info
ÌýÌýÌý right before Screen #13, under SPECIAL NOTE ON EDITING: near the
ÌýÌýÌý end of these instructions.

Screen #3

â—� In Screen #4, I chose a book to use as an example --
ÌýÌýÌý -- The Greek Tycoon's Unwilling Wife, by Kate Walker -- to show how to add a quote
ÌýÌýÌý to GoodReads database. As you can see, GRs still picked up the word â€�Kate.â€�

Screen #4

� As shown in Screen #5, click the green lettered � add a quote�.

Screen #5

â—� Screen #6 shows you that the title and author defaulted into the quote field.
ÌýÌýÌý You can delete that. If you had typed in a quote instead, that would have defaulted.
ÌýÌýÌý Notice that the field for the â€�book (optional)â€� field has NOT yet appeared.

Screen #6

â—� At Screen #7, type in your quote.

â—� You do NOT need to put in quotation marks at the beginning and end, but you do
ÌýÌýÌý for in-between dialogue.

â—� I would strongly suggest you type in the desired quote in some
ÌýÌýÌý word processing program first, as there is no spell or grammer check.

� After you type in the author’s name, it will appear in yellow highlight.
ÌýÌýÌý Selecting this will cause â€�(continues after Screen #7)

Screen #7

� � the � book (optional)� field to appear NOW as displayed in Screen #8.

� Using the � by the �book (optional)� field indicated by the red arrow on
ÌýÌýÌýScreen #8, GRs will give you a list of the author’s books.
ÌýÌýÌýIf your computer is slow, give it some time.

Screen #8

â—� Highlight in blue and select (by left mouse clicking) the appropriate title as
ÌýÌýÌý shown on Screen 9.

Screen #9

â—� Per Screen #10, make sure the correct book title came in (blue arrow) and add
ÌýÌýÌý an appropriate tag (orange arrow), if desired, and click the â€�saveâ€� button (red arrow).

Screen #10

â—� You screen should look like Screen #11, with a yellow confirmation message.

â—� If you notice an error, click on the tiny little word (edit) (Screen #11,
ÌýÌýÌý red arrow) and it will hyperlink you to the edit screen. Notice the book should
ÌýÌýÌý appear over to the right (green arrow).

Screen #11

â—� Check out your review! Screen #12 shows you that the quote I added appears
ÌýÌýÌý under my review of the same book.

Screen #12

SPECIAL NOTE ON EDITING:
â—� Use the Edit Quote screen to add a book title to the quote, which will
ÌýÌýÌý make it appear under your review.

â—� If you are NOT a librarian, but know one (indicated on their profile page,
ÌýÌýÌý under their avatar), ask them if they can add the book title tag.

â—� If you notice an error on a quote someone else entered, and you are a
ÌýÌýÌý GRs Librarian, you can correct it (without adding it to your “likes,â€�)
ÌýÌýÌý by clicking on the hyperlink that tells you the number of people who
ÌýÌýÌý liked the quote. Only Super Librarians can edit quotes with
ÌýÌýÌý more than 500 “likes.â€�

â—� Go in and edit it by this link to the Edit Quote screen showning in next (Screen #13).

â—� Use discretion!

� Be sure to click the �save� button.
