The one thing I'm really not sure about with Voyager is item records. Reading the wiki page, I'm pretty sure that the bibliographic records should be fine. Voyager has three levels for records: bib -> holdigns -> items. I can extract each one, so that isn't a problem, but getting them into Evergreen seems less straight forward.
Once I figure that out, then I can worry about things such as authority records and trying to figure out how to add records from other libraries.

Bibrecords work the same as on the page you refer to. If you aren't prone to errors of omission, like me, that piece is pretty straight forward. The most important step is to remember to run the "# SELECT MAX(id)+1 FROM biblio.record_entry;" between each marc2bre.pl and set the startid. My stumbling block is holdings........... I'm guessing I can export holdings from Unicorn, and I can convert them to MARC21XML with MarcEdit or others......... I know my holdings are in 852 not 999 but I need additional direction as well. If you figure something out let me know. Cheers F.
