  7. Export your data • Exporting your data takes just a few minutes. • Steps for most automation systems are on the wiki at: http://cpssoar.wikispaces.com/Data+migration • Be sure to submit a titles and items count for your export. • Any changes made in the catalogs for automated schools will not be reflected in the new catalog.

  8. Submit your barcode samples • Instructions are on the wiki at: http://cpssoar.wikispaces.com/Data+migration • Submit samples for each barcode type, e.g. 4-digit, 5-digit, 10-digit. • Samples should have a barcode scan in the first column, and a typed entry in the second.

  9. Process – non-automated schools • Send your MARC record vendor disks/files to the DLIS by November 23rd. • Complete your retrospective conversion by December 22nd.

  10. Data entry • Order barcode labels if you have items that do not have barcodes on them. • Enter your data using MARC Set Go! • Schedule a ReCAP date with Christie, or one-on-one training with Joe. • It takes about a minute per book.
