Bookwhere is also an excellent product with a constantly updated database Z39.50 profiles pre-grouped into categories (i.e. academic, public, etc...) as well as customizable. It also comes with a pretty good batch MARC editing tool. Windows only though a lot of library software is.

I know of at least two Evergreen consortiums that use it extensively and I've done some real simple tutorial videos on it in the past.

Quoting Jason Etheridge <[email protected]>:

I'm not sure which would be cheaper/faster/better.

I believe the program MarcEdit (*) has a batch Z39.50 lookup for a
given list of ISBN's.  The Evergreen Z39.50 UI is geared toward
dealing with one record at a time, so you may have better luck pulling
the data with MarcEdit, and then importing into Evergreen.
