Import a Libib export
Verso reads Libib CSV exports directly. There is no format to choose — columns are matched by name.
This guide is built from Libib's documented columns, not yet checked against a real export. If something doesn't come through, tell us — it's a quick fix.
Get the export
- 1Sign in to libib.com on a computer.
- 2Open the library you want to take with you.
- 3Go to “Manage” → “Export” and choose CSV.
- 4Download the file (depending on size, Libib emails it instead).
- 5In Verso: menu → “Data” → “Import library”.
What lands where
| Column | Becomes in Verso |
|---|---|
title | The title. |
creators | Libib calls authors “creators”. |
ean | Libib exports the ISBN-13 in the “ean” column — which is exactly what Verso needs for duplicate matching. |
length | For books, the page count. |
tags | Comma-separated, becomes Verso tags directly. |
notes | Becomes your private note. |
status | Libib keeps reading state separate from ownership — see the table below. |
Shelf or wishlist?
completed / finished | On the shelf, marked read |
reading / in progress | On the shelf, marked reading |
not read / unread | On the shelf, marked unread |
wishlist / wanted | On the wishlist |
What doesn't come along
- Libib also manages other media (film, music, games). Verso is a books app — rows without a book title are skipped and counted in the report.
- Verso has no field for “publisher” or “publish_date” (yet).
- Cover images: the exports contain none, so Verso fetches the cover from the ISBN (or you photograph it yourself).
- Anything Verso has no field for is dropped rather than squeezed in somewhere it does not belong.
After the import
Verso shows a report: how many books arrived, how many rows were skipped for having no title, and which columns it could not place. If the file brought duplicates, the “Duplicates” page finds them — which is what Verso is for in the first place.
