isbn, date purchased, book cost

Andrew Groves
I have three columns in a csv file:
isbn, date purchased, book cost
How do I get this information into Zotero? (I also have JabRef and Mendeley on Windows and Book Crawler on Apple)
Any help appreciated
Andrew

    It's fairly easy to import the books via ISBN -- you can literally just copy about 30-50 at a time form the spreadsheet into the add by identifier window), but that wouldn't include the other two variables -- what exactly are you trying to do? What's your goal in getting the info into Zotero?

    for my own records I would also like when I purchased the book and for how much
    ZOtero seems the best library listing tool but i would like these two extra pieces of info in addition to zotero's citation and bibliography notes

    You can add this to the notes or in extra field. I think the easiest way is to transfer csv to the RIS format (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RIS_(file_format))
