Cheryl,

I've been cooking up a process that starts with the OverDrive-supplied 
spreadsheet, uses MARCEdit Z39.50 to look for records in WorldCat (to download 
and automatically clean up), then transforms the data from all unfound titles into 
MARC, and output a batch for import into our Millennium ILS.

My method ain't ready for prime time yet, but bug me in a couple days and I'll give 
you what I got.

The fine folks at Mandel Public Library of West Palm Beach shared their OverDrive-
metadata to MARC method, and I'll be happy to pass that along, too.

More later,
James Staub
Nashville Public Library
