Keyed Retrospective Conversion: Yes, MARCIVE Still Does This Carol Love

Why Would You Need Keyed Retro? First time automation Portion of collection or a special collection not in current OPAC Branch library or schools in district not yet converted Legacy system has no way to export records for migration, but can print out database

What Do You Provide MARCIVE? Shelflist cards Photocopied title and verso pages of books Computer printout

How Does MARCIVE Convert My Collection? MARCIVE staff searches each card or title against our databases, adding matched records to a new file Local information (e.g., call number, location, copy/volume) is added to records Titles are searched—and searched again to verify accuracy Non-matches are transcribed to MARC format and added to file Your new file of MARC records is passed through authorities processing

How Much Does Conversion Cost? Our price is based on hit rate and options you choose Send a representative sample for the most accurate pricing We do a free hit rate test and use it to prepare a quote and proposal The cost of not doing conversion is lost access to your collection. Especially true if users only visit library online.

How Can You Prepare? Weed collection (remove books you do not want to retain) Do an inventory and ensure shelflist is accurate Get a quote for conversion Select an automation system
