If it helps, we did this just last year. We're still working some kinks out, and probably will continue to do so for some time, but here are the notes I put together as I worked through the process.

Bruce,

I just did a 5.3 bib data extraction a few weeks ago. These steps did the trick for me:

Make sure to use short report option.

Bib Data Extraction:

Select Materials > Export

Select All Materials from Export menu

All the options should gray-out except for the output file

Sele ct USMARC/852 Holdings Data

Click Browse to desktop and in the Output file field, enter your desired name.
