...

  • First things first: enter your title's ISBN 13.

...

  • Webform will automatically check to see if metadata for that ISBN already exists in our BiblioShare database, and will fill in the form with that data. It's like magic!

  • Image assets will also imported into Webform if it already exists in BiblioShare.

  • Whether you're pulling data from BiblioShare or manually entering it, make sure to fill in all fields that are marked RED. These fields are required for schema validation. Applicable to both Simplified Form and Advanced Form.

...

  • Double-click the ONIX file, or click once and press open to start the import.

  • When the "File imported successfully" message appears, close the pop-up window.

  • The titles in your ONIX file have now been added to your catalogue. You can view these titles on the Manage Titles screen.

  • If titles in your ONIX file are already in your catalogue, Webform will update those titles with the information from the imported ONIX file.

  • Tip: You can add/update multiple titles by importing an ONIX file with multiple titles in it.

Importing a Title from BiblioShare

  • As long as you have access to BiblioShare, Webform will automatically import an ISBN's data from BiblioShare when you try adding a new record.

  • There is unfortunately no way to import more than one title at a time from BiblioShare. This restriction has been put in place out of kindness to our hard-working server.

Adding Cover, Author, and Interior Images
