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.
To update an existing record, format your import file as follows:
ISBN<tab>title<tab>Fountas and Pinnell value<enter>
0689500297 The Grey King 6.2
Next,
New MARC Tag
521_a6.2_bFountas and Pinnell^
Alexandria automatically adds the program name to subfield _b when the Fountas and Pinnell import mapping option is set or it detects a field mapping header.
To update an existing record, format your import file as follows:
ISBN<tab>title<tab>Guided Reading value<enter>
0439531640 Inkheart 5.4
New MARC Tag
521_a5.4_bGuidedReading^
Alexandria automatically adds the program name to subfield _b when the Guided Reading import mapping option is set or it detects a field mapping header.
