Hi Andrew,
When you say I am starting my library do you mean to say that you'd
like to use Evergreen to catalog and maintain your personal collection
of books, or that you work for a library and will be cataloging that
collection?
Cheers,
Justin

Justin,
Its a library of a new college that has started. At the moment there is
nothing. Just books.
They need to get the books onto the system, and then operate like a library

Hi Andrew,
Andrew,
So you've got some options. You could scan all of your ISBN's into a
file and send that file to OCLC (or someone else) who would send you
back a file of complete marc records that you could batch import.
Another option would be to use the z39.50 search feature of Evergreen

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
I was thinking that using the fast item add feature in Evergreen's

I wonder if the

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.

Bootcamp and VMware Fusion are made for each other ;) I did talk to
Terry Reese a few months ago - he said that Wine Bottler worked for him.
Not for me, but for him.

I'm not sure I follow. If you're using the ISBN/UPC code as the item
barcode, you may need to come up with some scheme to handle multiple
copies of the same book.
