 * Hello,
 * My collection has several titles that has more than one book (eg: 3 books named
   Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, with different Call Numbers). So I tried
   uploading my collection as a .CSV file and it successfully uploaded. However,
   bulk upload has removed these multiple items from the same title, and has uploaded
   only the first item (eg: only the first Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire book).
 * When I tried to add one-by-one from the Librarian’s dashboard, I could successfully
   add more items with same details (only difference is the Call Number).
 * I’d really appreciate if you can point out what I am doing wrong. Thanks!

 * Every item in the database *must* have a *unique* barcode. Even if you have duplicate
   titles.

 * Oh okay, thanks. Will make sure to add unique numbers.
 * But how did it add a second item when I used the dashboard to add manually, then?
   That part is not clear to me.
 * Thanks!

 * You must have either used a unique barcode or else a unique barcode was generated.

 * It must be the second case, because I made sure to enter the exact same barcode
   manually to check what’s causing the issue.
 * Anyways my issue is fixed, thank you very much.
