Hi all, I’m trying to find information on how to direct users on our network to create and edit their own individual “catalogue” page, and I’m forgetting if this is a feature that has been discontinued? For instance, if I go to uw.pressbooks.pub/catalog/USERNAME I can see an individual user’s public catalog, but I cannot find information in the Pressbooks User Guide or Network Manager’s guide on how to change which titles “show in catalogue” or edit other information. Ex: here is the catalogue page of a faculty member at our institution. [https://uw.pressbooks.pub/catalog/jennilee](https://urldefense.com/v3/ __https://uw.pressbooks.pub/catalog/jennilee__ ;!!K-Hz7m0Vt54!nVlgUXD1iy5tVOm30Vx_Z0NwsmhZ7_LBzX73mn5ET6Suc0buvhSAZC3b-epejqU12qMXgssq6DDL$ "https://urldefense.com/v3/\_\_https://uw.pressbooks.pub/catalog/jennilee\_\_;!!K-Hz7m0Vt54!nVlgUXD1iy5tVOm30Vx\_Z0NwsmhZ7\_LBzX73mn5ET6Suc0buvhSAZC3b-epejqU12qMXgssq6DDL$") Has this feature been discontinued or am I missing something? Thanks! -Lauren ---

Hi @olray, the “my catalog” feature is still available, however, it will be deprecated later this year as per the post below. When you are logged into the network, this link https://[pressbooks domain]/wp/wp-admin/index.php?page=pb\_catalog will take you to the user catalog page and there are instructions to **Show/Hide** books on that page. Your own catalog page can be viewed at [https://uw.pressbooks.pub/wp/wp-admin/index.php?page=pb\_catalog](https://uw.pressbooks.pub/wp/wp-admin/index.php?page=pb_catalog) when you are logged in. Our support team can help you find other alternatives, I think [this catalog page](https://uw.pressbooks.pub/catalog/?search_term=Jennifer+Lee+Hoffman&per_page=10&sort_by=title#catalog) for your faculty member would be a nice way to showcase their work. -J > [@Planned Deprecation Notice: “My Catalog” Feature](https://pressbooks.community/t/planned-deprecation-notice-my-catalog-feature/4613): > > The Pressbooks “My Catalog” feature was originally introduced to provide a lightweight way for individual authors to curate and share collections of books across networks. Over time, however, the feature has seen diminishing usage, especially as many of its core functions have been replaced by improvements to our supported [network catalog plugin](https://github.com/pressbooks/pressbooks-network-catalog). Our team has determined that this legacy feature does not align well with our current product direction or the ways most users discover and organize c… ---

> [@john\_mcleod](#): > > /wp/wp-admin/index.php?page=pb\_catalog Thanks John, This is helpful to know. I’m creating a guide for faculty with steps on marketing and showcasing their Pressbooks books. I was planning to provide instructions in the guide for how they could create a catalog page that they could link to when sharing their work. Since My Catalog is going away, would you recommend that I provide instructions for searching their name in our network catalog, and using that URL? ---

Thanks Lauren, that would be my recommendation. I like the look of the catalog page used like this and it is also a great way to emphasize the importance of complete metadata to improve the find-ability of their work. ---

Thanks John! I’ve added these instructions to the [bottom of my LibGuide here](https://guides.lib.uw.edu/pressbooks/sharing).
