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 must use one of the Supported identifiers listed below (letter case does not matter). Columns with other headers (e.g., “Print_ISSN”, “Online_ISSN” or “ISSN-L”) are ignored.
Each cell may contain only one identifier. If a title has more identifiers, use separate columns (e.g., both ISSN and eISSN).
If you are tagging all titles with the same tag, 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.
Note: When you upload a title list for tagging, titles are matched by identifiers alone: ISSN, eISSN, ISBN, DOI, proprietary ID or the CELUS title ID. The title name is ignored. An ISSN or eISSN in the list matches any title whose ISSN, eISSN or ISSN-L has that value. Each identifier is looked up separately, so one row in the list can match more than one title.
