You can use an import to update study program information for titles already in your collection. But before you get started, read these articles to understand how it all works:
You probably wont have any trouble importing MARC or MicroLIF records provided to you by a vendor or data services company, but importing your own data may be a bit more complicated. Alexandria will use the import header to match the imported data to the correct fields. If your import file does not have a header, however, you will need to map your fields. This is crucial to ensuring that your data is imported correctly.
The following These examples show how study program information is imported to update your MARC records.
