Hmm ... good idea. The Minuteman catalog doesn't have MARC export functionality, & records can be saved to a list, but no MARC export there either. MarcEditor will accept text files; format should be like this, however: =LDR 04217cgm a2200841Ia 4500 =001 ocn175280415 =003 OCoLC =008 071019s2007\\\\cau181\\\\\\\\\\\\mleng\d =040 \\$aEYB$cEYB$dOCLCQ$dOCLCG$dIUL =041 1\$aeng$afre$aspa$beng$bspa$heng =043 \\$ae-un--- =050 \4$aPN1997$b.F43 2007 =130 0\$aFiddler on the roof (Motion picture) Not this: LEADER 00000cam 2200397Ia 4500 001 233216064 003 OCoLC 008 080703s2008 nyu d 000 1 eng d 020 9780739494752 035 (OCoLC)233216064 040 KKV|cKKV|dWIQ|dIUI|dMLN 050 04 PS3555.V2126|bF43 2008 082 04 813/.54|222 100 1 Evanovich, Janet. 245 10 Fearless fourteen /|cJanet Evanovich. The latter does not compile correctly into MARC. I changed the following manually & the file compiled fine: * change | to $ * add = before each line * change LEADER to LDR Not sure whether any of these changes are optional ...

First, download MarcEdit. Once it is installed:
Take the output from Minuteman, changing whatever filename extension is present, if any, to (.mrc). This extension will be recognized by MarcEdit. Double-click the on the file and follow the instructions. I suspect the file is MARC, and if it is, MarcEdit will convert to human-readable text with a new extension (.mrk). Load the .mrc file to Koha if all of the above is true. This procedure is for MarcEdit running under Windows XP.

Not exactly sure what format it's in -- I just copy & pasted into a text file from a record in the Minuteman Library Network in Mass:
Not really an answer to your question, but... Why not just search for the record using z39.50?
