urgent need for marc experts Irma Nicola 06 Mar 2007 17:13 UTC

We are trying to convert 853-863 marc holdings in III Milenium.  Has anyone found a way to extract that in marc format?  While we have the informaiton in 2 separate files we would like to extract that directly so that we can update that once a year with OCLC.

We are trying to work with marcedit software, but it is quite a lot of work to merge separate files, so if anyone has found a simpler way to deal with this issue I would be so appreciative.
