I learned from a colleague at another library today that their system
(Winnebago) accepts MARC records in text file format.

This would be a big time-saver as it would allow catalogers to simply
copy & paste records from other systems into a text file, before
importing into Koha.

How difficult would this be to implement for Koha? A sample record
follows below, from the Minuteman Library Network in Massachusetts.
