Importing CSV file

How do I know if a CSV import to add books to an existing library database was successful? Will I automatically receive a message of some sort indicating success, or do I need to manually determine this by, for example, comparing the number of books before import versus the latest number of books?

You'll usually get a confirmation message in your inbox here once an import has been completed successfully (or not). Depending on your settings, that message may also be sent to the email associated with your account here.

What is a reasonable amount of time to wait to receive a message about our import this morning of 2,100 books with no ISBNs?

I read about past no-ISBN imports needing to be "kicked" to get them going. Is this still a thing?

Our trial run was successful, so I think the data is ok.

>1 DanishAmerLibraryMN: Looks like your import is stuck, I'm asking ccatalfo to give it a kick (and hopefully we can fix this generally, sooner than later). Thanks for your patience!

I was thrilled to see our records now in the catalog -a big thank you!
