[Wactclc-alma] API for creating a batch of item records?

[Thomas, Kirsti]

Seattle Central has recently been getting donations of textbooks and equipment from various departments. We're talking 50 copies of the same textbook or 100 calculators. Creating the item records manually is extremely time consuming (not to mention boring).

Is it possible to use some kind of API that would allow us to feed in a file of barcodes (and sometimes serial numbers) and automatically create item records attached to a bib/holdings record that already exists in Alma?

I'm looking at you, Dan. 😉

It will be ok!
