My process for #BookWyrm is:
1. Search for the ISBN on OpenLibrary.org .
2. If it's not there,
2a) search for the book on search.worldcat.org,
2b) create a new book entry on #OpenLibrary , using the data from Worldcat,
2c) add the cover image from Amazon, other book sales platforms, or if necessary by making my own photo.
3) Import the book into BookWyrm, using its OpenLibrary ID.
I can do this pretty quickly, these days.
Maybe, but since this is the only book where I have encountered this error, I would like to know what precisely _triggered_ it.
Maybe it can be circumvented by editing the book data in #OpenLibrary .

bookwyrm.it@libri @cultura sono passata da GoodReads a #OpenLibrary da un po' di tempo ormai... Leggo regolarmente in due lingue (italiano e francese). Uso OpenLibrary soprattutto come catalogo personale, metto una valutazione qualitativa ma non faccio commenti. Argomenti per passare a bookwyrm? Nel caso, è possibile importare i dati di OpenLibrary verso bookwyrm?

I know I say this several times a year, but I really wish I could make a living just reading stories to children. Every Saturday night, I recharge my batteries after a stressful week by reading to third graders on Zoom. It's so wholesome and rewarding. #storytelling #parenting #ReadAloud #StoryHour #OpenLibrary #InternetArchive

TIL that there is an android app for #Bookwyrm (on #Fdroid).
I've had an account on bookrastinating.com for a couple of years, but after signing up and importing my books from #TheStoryGraph it hasn't seen much use.
I intended to give it some love a few months ago, but then #InternetArchive and #OpenLibrary got hit with that attack.
But I think that's been resolved now, and the android app will make things a little easier too, so I don't really have any excuses anymore do I?
O.o. Nie żebym potrzebował czytnika w kompie do czytania, ale przydaje się kiedy dodaję książki do katalogu OpenLibrary. Co oni tam odwinęli? I jak się nazywa jakiś używalny i lekki czytnik ePub na kompa wobec tego?
Ehi appassionati di libri, sapevate che esiste un'alternativa a Goodreads di Amazon chiamata BookWyrm?
https://noblogo.org/bookwyrm/bookwyrm-un-social-network-per-chi-ama-la-lettura
Proprio come Mastodon, il vostro account BookWyrm è federato e sarà seguibile da qualsiasi account del fedivero, potete iscrivetevi da qui:
BookWyrm consente di importare i dati esistenti da #Goodreads, #LibraryThing, #StoryGraph, #OpenLibrary, #Anobii e #Calibre:

Huh. Is it just me, or are both #Worldcat
and #OpenLibrary
down at the same time (the latter shows the title page, but everything seems to be error-riddled, including login)?
Is this just coincidence, or is there a #CyberAttack on both of them at the same time?
#InternetArchive and #WaybackMachine and #OpenLibrary need money.
They are not only victim of recent cyberattacks, they also host a very important service to the whole world that actually should be publicly funded anyhow.
You can not only pay via #PayPal (and more) https://help.archive.org/help/how-do-i-donate-to-the-internet-archive/ but also use a simple wire transfer https://help.archive.org/help/how-do-i-make-a-wire-transfer/ also including Euro/SEPA/IBAN. 
I'm wiring a few bucks each month because I think that they really should be funded well. 
Okay, the #InternetArchive seems to be largely online again.
But does anyone have any problems with logging in to #OpenLibrary ? I want to add more fodder for my #BookWyrm account...
Euer Wunsch geht in Erfüllung! Die Sportbibliothek startet mit erweiterten Öffnungszeiten ins WS 24/25. Wie findet Ihr das Konzept "Open Library"? #sportbib #OpenLibrary #ubffm https://www.ub.uni-frankfurt.de/bsp/sport/
And here I am, finally deciding to give #Bookwyrm another try and importing a bunch of books from #TheStoryGraph only to find out that #OpenLibrary.org is down, so lots of failed imports.
Guess, I'll have to take care of the dishes or something.
Phew, got my first notification from haveibeenpwned.com today, apparently the Internet archive (which also hosts openlibrary.org where I had a registered account) was breached.
If you have an account on #InternetArchive, #WaybackMachine or #OpenLibrary, make sure to take necessary steps.
If you would like to bid on one of ten hand printed copies of this linocut print, all proceeds are going to the Internet Archive's Open Library.
The Fediverse's social reading platform BookWyrm lets you import your account data from Goodreads, LibraryThing, StoryGraph, OpenLibrary or Calibre. There are step by step instructions for how to do this here:
If you're wondering what the heck BookWyrm is, it's a Fediverse alternative to Amazon's Goodreads. There's an intro article here:

What will we tell our grandchildren when they ask us why we let half a million books vanish into thin air? Maybe we'll start with “Once upon a time, in a remote corner of the Internet, a magical place called the #OpenLibrary…”
