Emerald has worked with Backstage in the past, and we also used them during my time with Evergreen Indiana. They are excellent at what they can do with your MARC data, and more. We’ve taken libraries from nothing more than a spreadsheet of book titles, authors, barcodes and ISBN’s and turned them into high quality MARC records, thanks to Backstage.

I've not personally used them but I've asked this question at the conference several times since I'd like to do the same thing with SCLENDS and I've always heard good things about Backstage from others that have used them.
