Hi there. I just added many books to my library from another library by clicking the + sign beside each title. Every time I did that, it brought me to the book info page but there was no save option. So I went back and added again, and so on. I just returned to my library and found that none of the books I added are in my library. Any ideas? Thank you!

The green plus doesn't actually add books to your library -- it just takes you to the "Add Books" page. You never actually did the search to add any of the books -- once you're at Add Books, whether you get there through the tab at the top of the page or through the green plus (which pre-fills some fields) you need to actually do a search to find the book before you can add it.

Are you clicking on that symbol from the other member's catalog or from the work page? Effectively, it doesn't copy records from other people's catalogs, but executes a search to add the book. If the book was originally added manually, you're out of luck, and will just have to enter the details manually yourself if you can't find it in a library or bookstore source. If you click on it from within the person's library, and it WASN'T added manually, it should try to search for it and add it from the source that person used to add it (and should take you to the Add Books page to confirm the selection, I think).
There has been A LOT of discussion already about this plus-sign feature and how it does and doesn't work. There are some changes to it coming, though I don't know when. I don't have links to the the other previous threads to hand, but if you search talk you should find scores of other threads asking about this.

Thank you for your help. I was clicking on the plus symbol from the other library's catalog on books that weren't added manually (I'm the other member) and I think it directed me to each work page. It never got me to an add books page or any similar option. I'll go look for those other threads...
