How can I add other peoples books to collections

Hi, I am setting up a library for our church. I want to know how I can use the collections tab to add other personal collections to the library. Do I need to have them set up a librarythings account and add books in and is there a way to link accounts if I do that?
do I need to get a list and input them manually? Is there a spreadsheet they can fill out for me to import into librarything?
any advice is appreciated.

If you want the books to show up in your catalogue or TinyCat, then you have to enter them in your account.

Regarding importing new books from a spreadsheet, there's universal import https://www.librarything.com/more/import Read the instructions how it MUST be formatted since any deviations from it will not work.

As far as I know, there's no way to link accounts so if you want access to personal libraries setting up collections for them is probably the best option.

Other people can always search and view any collections you set up in your current account, they do not need LT account for that. Editing books, importing new ones, etc. can only be done by someone with access to your account
