Creating a Title using Webform
Click the “Add New Title” in the Manage Titles screen to access your Simplified/Advanced Entry Form.
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.
Click Save to save your edits and return to the Manage Titles screen.
The new title will be added to your catalogue on the Manage Titles screen.
Importing a Title from an ONIX file
Select Import an ONIX file from the Actions drop-down menu in the Manage Titles screen. Then select Import an ONIX file from the menu.
A small pop-up window will appear as seen in the image below. Please click Browse to use the file browser and upload an onix file from your computer.
Double-click the ONIX file 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, the 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
There are three ways to add images from your computer to Webform. You can simply drop them into the designated space, or you can use the file browser, or upload a URL.
How to drop an image
