CSV File A comma-separated values (csv) file is a delimited text file that uses a comma to separate values. JRNL requires data imports to be in .csv file format.
Dates of Publication The MARC field 362 contains beginning/ending date(s) of an item and/or the sequential designations used on each part. Dates to be used in this field are chronological designations that identify individual issues of the continuing resource. The sequential designations are usually numeric but can be alphabetic as well. The information may be formatted or unformatted. If the date information has been obtained from a source other than the first and/or last issue of the item published, the information is given in an unformatted note and the source of the information is usually cited. Dates in this field may be identical to the information in fields 008/07-10 (Date 1) and/or 008/11-14 (Date 2). Incomplete, approximate, or questionable dates are not recorded in this field.
Export to File Any search performed and exported to a file.
