Import Study Program Field Mapping
Last Updated: $action.dateFormatter.formatDateTime($content.getLastModificationDate())
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:
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. The following examples show how study program information is imported to update your MARC records.
