how we can create MARC records for books that do not have Library of Congress Data?
Programmatically, you can create MARC records from your own data using the MARC::Record module in Perl.
perldoc MARC::Record
will be of help.
How we should be able to enter the data in to a CSV file and then programaticaly create MARC records for upload in Koha eventually?
Yes, it should be no problem. Use the Text::CSV_XS module to read in the csv data and the MARC::Record module to write out marc records.
You can then load the marc records that you have created into Koha using the bulkmarcimport.pl utility script (in bin/migration_tools/bulkmarcimport.pl)
Robin at catalyst has written a script that takes a CSV file and outputs MARC.
