Hi Team,

How can I Import data from Libsy to (MARC21, CSV, Excel, Access) or any data type which I can use with Koha Library automation software.

Importing data from libsys is little difficult. libsys people lock the data . so you have to take the assistance of the  technical person. we faced same problem .we discontinued libsys because of AMC.  but NIC people helped us to import data from libsys to egranthlaya. u take help of compter persons

yes madam, we are using egrantalaya for last 5 years. its good software user friendly. we keep on suggesting   to incorporate  some new changes in the new version also. and NIC  does customisation for our library. in all its  its a  good soft ware which satisfies our needs.

Make use of report facility in libsys and download your collection data in excel/csv format. You can then convert this data into mark format and import it in standard s/w like koha, soul etc. Similarly you can do for patron data also.
