Just double-checking about what is an allowable "collection"...

It's been done before and I want to do it, too: add to my LT collection a thing that is not a book, not a film, not music. Not necessarily, anyway.
It won't be anything I would use for commercial purposes. It's not anything illegal or violent.
It is, though, simply a method of consuming that will be either entertainment or informational, and it is the kind of thing that I would write a few personal words of opinion (a review).
What is it?
I'll tell you after it is confirmed that I can create my own collection of something or another without breaking the ToS. And after you tell me if something without ISBN would create an uproar with those that maintain "works."

I add and review Radio Plays. :) Does this help?
Your collection, your rules. As long as it is not advertisement and does not break the TOS in some way (insults, name calling other members and so on), have fun.

>2 AnnieMod: Thanks Annie! It does help. And indeed the collection I want to add is similar.
I want to add YT videos (especially the cooking and literary subject types) with their links either in my LT comments or in a review.
I'll be handpicking the ones I know I will want to view again (or recommend) and will use LT tags to get me there quickly, instead of the painful YT scrolling or painful playlist creating, with no ability to add my own notes.

>3 DebiCates: What is "YT"?
Also,
Lots of us have books without ISBNs, and LT keeps ... LT'ing, so other things without ISBNs shouldn't hamper LT'ing through their lack of ISBNs š

>3 DebiCates: Make sure you add something to the title so it is clear that they are videos (hint: use normal () or {} and not square brackets so you can touchstone later if you prefer to. The latter is better usually because text in () is excluded from the autocombinerās logic and there is a chance to attract a stray copy of a book.) :)

>3 DebiCates: I think that's an intriguing idea. We certainly have other online works catalogued here, if not in the same quantities as traditional media.
I read a lot on Hathi Trust and the Internet Archive, scans of books that I will never have physical copies of and which are too large to download to my phone/tablet (and the sites' reading interfaces are better, too). I catalogue them the same as any other book i read, and drop a link in the comments in case I want to access it again.
I could see video essays in a similar light, especially with the use of tags and collections to sort them with your other library items.
Folks have catalogued all kinds of collections. If you indicate it's a video format, it would be pretty similar to the videos already catalogued, just stored on youtube.

>4 LeslieWx: Hi Leslie! YT is Youtube. And thank you for the reassuring info about lack of ISBNs not putting a kink here
>5 AnnieMod: Thanks Annie, I will do that, will use the {} as I have done with indicating short stories after discovering the square brackets others used (and I copied) yammed up the works for touchstones. Good to know about the affect of () too.
>6 keristars: That's a good reminder, to catalogue them as video type. I too have catalogued a few books that don't have ISBNs and I will never own a copy of, quite a few Gutenberg's in fact.
I do love the freedom here on LT to have a library just to my liking.

I have one question^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^h suggestion for something to consider: how many people will know that "YT"=YouTube, and do you care if they don't (for example, if they combine it with something odd)?
Note that it's entirely possible that I'm the last person not living in a monastery who didn't know what YT stood for ...

A two letter abbreviation will not have a single meaning. Which one is 'obvious' depends a lot on your personal environment.

>9 LeslieWx: Hm, "YT video" should help orient what I mean. In fact, if you google that phrase Youtube is the top results. In my reviews I include the link which clearly shows the name youtube.com. But I really don't expect too many people to be interested in my collection of youtube vidoes; I just wanted a better place to store the links and my experiences with recipes. I'm on a bit of a mission to get my recipes (lots of books too) digitally organized.
