Reply to Baljit - Using MARCEdit to create MARC-21 records

Dear Baljit

Since your library's collection is already 7000+, you should think of converting the data for these books directly into NewGenLib. The way to do this is to create a spread sheet (using MS-Excel). Then download a free software called MarcEdit. Convert the XLS file into a comma delimited file and use MARCEdit to transform the comma delimited file into a MARC ISO-2709 file which can then be imported record by record into NewGenLib. I hope this helps. Haravu
