How to prepare a title list file for upload
Input File Specifications:¶
The input file must be a .csv file using commas as delimiters and saved with UTF-8 encoding.
The file has to be structured as follows:
- Rows: Each row must represent an individual title.
- Columns: Use columns for title identifiers (e.g., ISBN, ISSN, etc.).
- Headers: The first row must contain the column headers described below.
Column headers:¶
- The "Title/Database" column is not used for tagging, but it helps when reviewing tagging outcome.
- The input file can include additional columns, CELUS will only work with those that it recognizes.
- The columns containing title identifiers have to be in line with the list of Supported identifiers:

- If you are tagging all titles by the same tag, you select the tag in the upload dialog.
- To apply different tags to individual titles, include the specific tag names in a column named "Tag" in your input file.
- If you need to assign more than one tag to a single title, you must format your file using a separate row for each tag (unpivot columns if containing multiple tags). Also, ensure that the "Exclusive" checkbox is unselected in your Tag Class Management settings.
Examples of input files:¶
- without tags

- with tags
