Hello,
I'm a newbie of Tellico. Actually I'm not an expert of XML and XSLT too!

The problem is the following: I have a shelf in Google Book "my library" that is my real book library. I want to import the whole shelf, the entire collection, in Tellico.
Now, from GB I can export a XML file with ISBNs and Titles of the Books. If I go in Tellico I can import a XML providing a proper XSLT file...
...the question is: what should I write in the XSLT? Is there an example? I suppose that a XSLT for GB works for all, because the fields are always the same.

Anyone more experienced could give me an advice?

Thanks a lot,
J.

The older Google Books API used XML, and there's a googlebook2tellico.xsl file here from an older Tellico version
https://projects.kde.org/projects/extra ... ellico.xsl

But I don't know if the library export uses the same xml format as the old books xml. You could give it a shot. If that doesn't work, you could email me your xml file and I could take a look. It only has Title and ISBN?
