Importing items

In addition to entering metadata manually, you also have the option of importing it semi-automatically. Currently, only individual data records can be imported into TUprints. If you would like to import a file with more than one data record into the system, please contact the editorial team at dpub@tu-darmstadt.de.

Various filters are available for importing individual data records.
