You will need some computer literate people to help. I cataloged my
personal collection of about 6000 books with some help from my sisters.
It's now over 10,000 books.
In the Administration section you will find a link to Z39.50/SRU
servers. The most important one is the Library of Congress. These are
the ones I use.

If the book has an ISBN, you can search on that and get all the
necessary data filled in. Otherwise search on Author and/or Title. Its
not difficult, just tedious.
Take a look at the Koha Z39.50 Server Directory
<https://kohasupport.com/z39-50-server-directory/> to see if there are
any that may be useful such as the Abilene Christian University (or 5
others) which may have listings not found elsewhere.
You may have a few books that aren't listed anywhere. Save those to
last after you've seen what the others have shown and create your own
records.
Good Luck

There isn't even a card catalog. Just the checkout cards. There is a binder
with a list of all books with an ascension number.
The library started 30 years ago with boxes of books that were shared before
there was a room for it, before the church had a permanent location. We have
had one volunteer librarian the whole time, but she has no formal training .
Also quite computer illiterate.

How are your data stored now? Catalog cards? Ledger? Spreadsheet? A
colleague and I are doing a presentation on CSV to MARC at next month's
KohaCon, so if you're using a spreadsheet you're in luck. If you're
using paper records, what kind of data are you collecting?

I'm in charge of converting our small church library (about 6,000
items) from a manual system to a computerized one; volunteered
actually. I've got koha installed and have worked through most of the
implementation checklist.
Most documents I can find are about converting from one computerized
system to another, for example the koha wiki section on data
migration. What I could use is some kind of guideline or article on
the best way to go digital. It is a pretty big project and I have
limited time, and would like to be as efficient as possible and avoid
duplicate work.
Does anyone know of any resources?
Besides setting up koha, all that has been done is to apply some
preprinted barcode labels to a small part of the collection.
Thank you.
