First, make sure the title is actually missing from the database. Try searching for it in different ways, just including a single word from the title, for instance. Titles are supposed to be listed under their indicia title, but sometimes they may have been set up differently. If the title really is missing from the database, we want to know about it. If a title is listed under something other than its indicia title, we want to know about it.
 
Send an email to the Error List including as much of the following information as you can. The more you include, and the closer to this order you put it, the more quickly it is likely to be added.
