FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.

Datalo: List Converter for the SFX Dataloader
Warning: this software is in development and might change significantly before v1.0 is released.
A tool for librarians working with ExLibris' SFX
When mass updating SFX target portfolios via the dataloader, we need a clean, tab separated list of ISBNs or ISSNs. Usually, we have to fetch the identifiers manually from messy lists (CSV, TSV, Excel), which have different standards for different publishers. The identifiers we need are sometimes merged in single fields, arbitrarily separated by different delimiters each time.
We start with this...
...aiming for this:
| ISBN | Status |
|---|---|
| 9781606929735 | ACTIVE |
| 9780511303388 | ACTIVE |
| 9781608762941 | ACTIVE |
| 9781905050352 | ACTIVE |
| 9781280480560 | ACTIVE |
| 9781905050840 | ACTIVE |
...
Datalo parses the first list in search of valid identifiers and generates the second automatically within seconds.
Requirements
Datalo requires PHP 7. You will also need to have composer installed in your system in order to install the script.
Installation
Install datalo globally on your system with composer. Open your terminal and digit:
After the installation, datalo will be available in any directory. Make sure to place the $HOME/.composer/vendor/bin directory (or the equivalent directory for your OS) in your $PATH so the datalo executable can be located by your system.
Usage
Use the command datalo isbn to process a list of eBooks (passed as the first argument, in our case: eBook_list.csv) and datalo issn for a list of journals. The second argument is the destination file you want to generate: destination_file.txt.
The script will detect the delimiter, extract all valid ISBNs from your source file and save them in the destination file.
If the file already exists, you will get a warning. You can overwrite an existing file by setting the option --force:
Status
If you don't specify an activation status, all identifiers are flagged as ACTIVE by default in the second column. You can set a custom status (ACTIVE / INACTIVE) or add any string using the option --status followed by a word or a sentence enclosed in "quotation marks":
To save only the list of identifiers, set the --status explicitly to NONE.
Delimiter
If the delimiter-autodetection does not work, maybe the file has an unusual delimiter (say... pipe: |). In this case, you can use the option --delimiter to set a custom delimiter:
You will have to make sure that you are actually using the correct delimiter to avoid unexpected or partial results.
