Hi Clint,
One possibility is to compile of file of ISBNs and submit it to your 
national library (Te Puna in your case).  They could provide you with a 
file of MARC records.  Matching on title and author might also be 
possible.  There might be a fee involved and you still have to  create 
items locally, but its quicker than cataloguing individually.
Hope this helps.
