There are many ways to do it, i refer to go with MARC-Record-2.0.2 perl
extension [1]

Create a spreadsheet file with desired columns like title, author, ISBN,
publication, etc. populate it with data obtained from librarian and save it
as CSV file.

You will have to write a script that uses MARC-Record extension, pass the
CSV file as input and it will generate MARC file for you.

Trust me you don't need to be a Perl programmer to do it. The test script i

You may need to alter the code to match the dataset you have.
