Add Books - Change to Add Media (and move manual add)

Instead of "Add books", change to "Add media" to better fit the use of including books, movies, and in my case, also my puzzle library. Also, move the link to manual add an item higher in the left column. I have to manually add all my puzzles, and scrolling down every time is a pain. Or find some way to manually add more easily.

You can create a bookmark to the empty manual entry form in your browser? The URL is https://www.librarything.com/addnew.php

This is primarily a book site. You are permitted to add other things, but it is set up for books.

You can also make a spreadsheet for what you'd add manually and import it all at once.
https://www.librarything.com/import
Download the LibraryThingSample.csv at the bottom of the right column and format your file exactly like that. No added, no missing columns. If you don't have data for some columns, just leave blank. As long as there is no ISBN present, it will import exactly the data you entered. (If there is ISBN, it will import data from a source you've chosen instead)

>1 pandr65: If you're on a device with a keyboard, there are ways to go instantly to the bottom of the screen/page. For example, on my current computer/browser, Ctrl+{down arrow} does that for me.

As for changing the term from "book" to "media", I hear you. But >3 MarthaJeanne: points out the main reason the change may not happen.
