Book Physical Characteristics

There are entry spots for Length and Width and # of pages, etc. on physical books

But I don't see a spot for hours if it's an audio book...

Can you add this please?

>1 Berly: I'm certain I've seen this request before, but I can't find the thread. I use comments for audiobook length, but I'd love to have a dedicated field.

Well, I don't think that thread went anywhere! LOL

Yes, I still would love to have a dedicated field for audio length!!

Please

I think having the hours (length) of audio book would be useful as well. You might also want the number of MB. In the days of digital files, this would be helpful for those looking for audiobooks that might be completed on a drive, etc. For those libraries using TinyCAT, this would give borrowers a crucial piece of info too!

Thanks for reviving this thread, Lori. Still looking for additional entry possibilities under book physical characteristics....

While waiting for dedicated fields, it is possible to add any data to the physical summary field

I would be ecstatic to have anything to track the length of my audiobooks.
