Import Electronic Resources

You have a spreadsheet containing basic title information such as the name of the resource and it’s URL. You want to add this to Alexandria so that it is searchable without having to hand enter each record.

File Type

If your eBook records are from a vendor, we recommend using a MicroLIF or MARC file. Use tab-delimited instead if you're importing records from a spreadsheet or want to catalog a list of webpage or PDF links.
