[Koha] Bulk loads of MARC records

[John Voth]

Howdy Y'All,

Joshua, take a look at my bibliotools here: http://www.voth.ca/bib.php.
I've already created the LoC MARC fetch tool. I've successfully 
retrieved about 4000 MARC records in about 40 minutes.

I've also got an EAN to ISBN conversion program there.
