how we can create MARC records for books that do not have Library of Congress Data?
There are many ways to do it, i refer to go with MARC-Record-2.0.2 perl extension [1] [1] http://search.cpan.org/~gmcharlt/MARC-Record-2.0.2/lib/MARC/Doc/Tutorial.pod...
How we should be able to enter the data in to a CSV file
Create a spreadsheet file with desired columns like title, author, ISBN, publication, etc. populate it with data obtained from librarian and save it as CSV file.
and then programaticaly create MARC records for upload in Koha eventually?
You will have to write a script that uses MARC-Record extension, pass the CSV file as input and it will generate MARC file for you. Trust me you don't need to be a Perl programmer to do it. The test script i wrote is here http://pastebin.com/HXYuYfmm You may need to alter the code to match the dataset you have.
