Summaries

Use summaries to provide a synopsis of a title. Your summary will be viewable by other users when they view information on this title.

Why Add a Summary?

Summaries help other users evaluate a title when they view its bibliographic information, help them determine if you would make a good person to “follow” as a source of recommendations, and add value to your library’s catalogue.

Every time you add a summary to a title, you earn community credits.
