Bulk Upload

Scholar includes a Rake task for batch upload of collections and works. Batch upload includes the ability to import works directly into collections or as child works. Works with existing DOIs can now be assigned those DOIs in scholar through the bulk upload task.

Rake task syntax:
rake batch:load:works CSV_LOCATION="/tmp/test-batch/ready.tsv" PATH_TO_WORKS="/tmp/test-batch/"
