## Tips
|
|

|
## Where Does the Content Come From?
|
|
|
|
Audiobooks and podcasts are stored on an NFS share (`robin.home.nest:/yarr/media/audiobooks`). New content is added by:
|
|
|
|
- **[Shelfmark](../media-request/shelfmark.md)** — Users can request audiobooks directly through Shelfmark, which automatically populates the Audiobookshelf library.
|
|
- **Admin upload** — The admin may add audiobooks manually to the NFS share.
|
|
|
|
If you have personal audiobook files you'd like to add, ask an admin about mounting your own directory.
|
|
|
