Bulk books import process

[davidmooreppf]

• identify commonly-used software and give participating signed publishers specific export settings
• Determine best export settings for common inventory management software
• Use a CSV importer engine? Or come up with strict format for importing (CSV, all books must have standard title, all covers ditto)

Wildside used Ingram, getting us in touch with their rep there for export:

Hello David,

I am with the Partner Support Team at Ingram Content Group. Publishers use our CoreSource platform for digital asset management and distributions.

I received a request from John Betancourt with Wildside Press to setup a channel with BRIET to deliver their ebooks.

Before I get started, I need to know which metadata format is desired. CoreSource can send Onix 2.1, 3.0 or spreadsheet .csv (sample attached). Please choose one.

Looks like what we want is to become one of Ingram's "distribution partners". Jacob filled out basic contact form today and will hopefully get in touch.
