MARCEdit free software can convert Excel files to MARC and back.
I've used MARCEdit to do other stuff, but not this particular task.
Here is a tutorial from the University of Illinois on how to do it.

Subject: [ha-Safran] Basic cataloging program for small collections?
(Librarything.com?)
Hello safranim,
1) I'm looking for suggestions/recommendations/advice for the easiest/quickest
way to catalogue some smaller private collections for basic record keeping (so
no need for any features for circulation tracking, online public browsing of
records, etc.). I just need a website/program/app that will let me input a call
number, ISBN or title/author/etc. and will then populate for me all the basic
bibliographic information (title, creators, imprint data, collation, etc.) into
a spreadsheet or database that can be stored (online or locally) and at various
points transferred/converted easily to Excel or (preferably) Filemaker. Hebrew
character recognition (for transfer also) and a scanning function (rather than
manual input) would be big pluses.
2) Is there a way for non-professional/institutional librarians to copy Marc
records into Excel or Filemaker (either directly or through some software?
3) I've been playing with Librarything.com to see if it might work for me and
it is ok so far. A) Is there a way to scan (not type) ISBN, call number, title,
etc. rather than the bar code (most books I'm working with don't have bar
codes)? B) How can I create new custom fields? C) Is there a way to search for
a book across all the sources (Amazon, Library of Congress, etc) without having
to search each separately one by one?
Thank you?
