[Koha] [EXTERNAL] Manual system to koha

[King, Fred]

How are your data stored now? Catalog cards? Ledger? Spreadsheet? A colleague and I are doing a presentation on CSV to MARC at next month's KohaCon, so if you're using a spreadsheet you're in luck. If you're using paper records, what kind of data are you collecting?

(I'm about to sign off for the day, but I'll be back next week.)

Facebook just sounds like a drag, in my day seeing pictures of peoples vacations was considered a punishment.

I'm in charge of converting our small church library (about 6,000 items) from a manual system to a computerized one; volunteered actually.  I've got koha installed and have worked through most of  the implementation checklist. 
Most documents I can find are about converting from one computerized system to another,  for example the koha wiki section on data migration.  What I could use is some kind of guideline or article on the best way to go digital.  It is a pretty big project and I  have limited time, and would like to be as efficient as possible and avoid duplicate work.

Does anyone know of any resources?
Besides setting up koha, all that has been done  is to apply some preprinted barcode labels to a small part of the collection. 

Thank you.
