How to make book lists visible to readers

Once you’ve followed the steps to create a book list within Beanstack, you need to make sure the list is set to show on your site.

Note: If the book list was previously unchecked, it is moved from the “Showing” tab to the “Created By Us” tab.

Making a book list visible to readers from the admin view

Once “Show?” box has been checked, the book list appears to readers on your site under the “Recommendations” tab on the web or in the “Discover” icon and then the “Book Lists” tab on the mobile app. The “Recommendations” or “Book Lists” tabs do not appear unless a book list has been created and set to show on your site.

If you followed all the steps above and the “Recommendations” and “Book Lists” tabs are still not appearing in the reader view, try one of the following:

  • Clear your site’s cache and cookie data by following the steps in this article.
  • Refresh your site in the admin view:
    1. Go to Setup > Logging Settings (libraries) or Setup > Reading Integrity Settings (schools).
    2. Check and uncheck a log type to refresh your site (and making sure you have all the same inactive and active log types selected when you leave the page).
    3. Then, navigate back to the reader view and ensure that the “Recommendations” tab is appearing on the web and the “Book Lists” tab is appearing on the mobile app.
