[Koha] HELP: text to marc to koha

[Christopher M. Jones]

Some volunteers at my school have spent a few months making an
accessions list in plain text files as follows:

Barcode : ISBN : Author : Title

The original plan, I suppose, was to use z3950 to get some of the marc
records and fill in the rest by hand to be imported into koha. In
general, I don't get good results querying LOC for juvenile fiction, and
my script hasn't worked for other databases.

We are really desperate to get basic records into koha so we can do
basic circulation in our school library. We can worry about the quality
of the records later. My question is:

What is the best way to get the information from the file formatted as
above into koha? Can a script be written to generate a minimal marc
record for each entry in the file? If so I don't know enough about marc
to create the script. Perhaps there is another way? Can anyone help?
