Dear All: May I request you, who are trying to take out data from Libsys, to let us know which version of Libsys are you currently using? Sincerely, -- Swati Bhattacharyya Librarian Indian Institute of Management Calcutta Joka, Diamond Harbor Road Kolkata - 700104 Ph: +91-33-2467-8300/01 (extn: O:416; R: 106)

Dear Dr. Manjunath

I Agree with you,but not now. Like Dr. Pradeep I alos face the same problem with libsys, They are charging 1lac for conversion of 10k data. Secondly there are also so many library professionals (Worked with libsys) to whom I know, they can come volunterly and share their knowledge among others if any body organise training they may help, but those who have an urgency pl circulate a note/procedure/guideline form your side how to convert? So that they will go ahead. Regards Dr. R K Ch Patro, Librarian Institute for International Management & Technology (IIMT) Gurgoan 0124-4787111

Dear Dr. Manjunath, This is really a good subject to discuss, If you can help / guide professionals through this forum about importing the data from libsys to Excel or other CCF.It would really helpful to all. Organising a training / workshop would take lot of time, which is the next step of discussion. Regards Rajesh Kumar FORE School of Management New Delhi.

You need to attend or organise at least two days workshop at your place regarding criteria for selecting library software, software management and data coversion.

Bibliographic data, in fact, from libsys can be converted to CCF, MARC21, Excel etc. It all depends on the features you opted for at the time of signing license agreement with Libsys or with any other software vendors.

Most important, you have not mentioned your affiliation ( place of work ) in your email.

Dear Friends

...

I would like to share a common issue raised by many professional colleagues who are using the Libsys software. If any library wish to migrate from libsys to another LMS or ERP. This is really a very difficult task, because, libsys software does not support in exporting data into other common communication format (CCF) such Oracle or MySQL, etc. and libsys people does not cooperate at all.

Those professionals who have migrated from libsys to another LMS or ERP can help in this case.

They are requested to share their experience, how, by which ways and means they have fetched the data from libsys. Please share how the data be can be imported into Excel, Oracle or MySQL, etc. This will help many professionals who are floating in such circumstances. regards
