Import Data

The Insignia Library System allows staff to import data for patrons and materials. Staff can import data for patrons from any student information system using user-defined templates.

The Insignia Library System can import any file that is MARC compliant. When importing data you should decide if you want to import Copy Information and also what to do if the title already exists in the database.

Staff can also choose to do a MARC test on the data they want to import to determine if the MARC records can be imported successfully into the library system. To test a group of MARC records, click on the “Test” button.
