<p>A little over a year ago, I created <a href="https://medium.com/@chrisoliver/the-monster-list-of-ux-books-dc92b127da74">The Monster List of UX Books</a> by compiling every list of recommended UX books I could find into a Google spreadsheet. While a spreadsheet worked well enough in the beginning, updating the list was tedious and error prone (inaccurate tallies, duplicate books and authors, etc.). I had also received many requests from users for features like rating books, which Google Sheets could not support.</p>
<h3>Moving to Airtable</h3>
<p>Over the past few months I’ve been transferring the Monster List to <a href="https://airtable.com/">Airtable</a>, a web app for creating databases, as well as adding new lists, books, and categories. I’ve also added new features and functionality that are now possible using Airtable.</p>
<p><strong>Overview of updates to the list:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Gallery view with book cover images</li>
<li>User ratings: sort the list by user ratings and submit your own ratings</li>
<li>Categorization: suggest new categories</li>
<li>Feedback form</li>
<li>179 new books, 24 new lists, and 13 new categories</li>
</ul>
<h3>Exploring the new list</h3>
<p>You can explore the embedded list below or <a href="https://airtable.com/shr8I9oWiYngztMXC">open it in a new tab</a>.</p>

<p>For those of you unfamiliar with Airtable, I also made a quick screen recording (no audio) to demonstrate how to navigate the list:</p>

<h3>How you can get involved and improve the list</h3>
<h4>Rate and categorize books</h4>
<p>You can now rate and suggest categories for any book on the Monster List using <a href="https://airtable.com/shrl12LhYCCx7L5HB">this form</a>:</p>

<h4>Submit feedback</h4>
<p>Did you come across a new list or book not on the Monster List? Do you have suggestions for how to improve the list or other general feedback? Share it through <a href="https://airtable.com/shrY1hVLokIU2489E">the feedback form</a>:</p>

<h4>Sign up for Airtable using my referral link</h4>
<p>Thanks to all the new content I’ve added to the list, I’m already close to hitting the limits of a free Airtable account. The good news is that I receive $10 credit at Airtable for every person that signs up with my referral link below. Each $10 credit pays for one month of Airtable Plus, which allows me to store more books, authors, and user ratings.</p>

<h4>Help maintain the list</h4>
<p>If you have some time to spare and are feeling extra generous, I am looking for a few volunteers to help me maintain the list. This might include adding cover images to books, adding new lists and books, and updating book categories. Let me know in the comments if you’re interested.</p>
<h4>Share the list</h4>
<p>Last but not least, if you found this list helpful, please do clap for it and share it on your social network of choice.</p>
