If i have understood clearly, maybe this could help you...

Do you know Marc Edit ?
http://oregonstate.edu/~reeset/marcedit/html/index.php
it's free and focused in Marc Records, have a Z39 interface, import/export
registers, and others functions.

Other option, is Openbiblio:  http://obiblio.sourceforge.net/
Is an almost complete free software and open source for libraries.
Anyway, if you don't need all resources, you can use only the catalog module:
Basic Mode (only forms) and Marc Mode (tags etc). Its possible import Marc
files.
But i don't know how to export (I think there's a patch or some additional
module to do this). See the add-ons and patchs page, or forum.

Finally, if you utilize the browser Firefox, install the Zotero www.zotero.org
plugin. With this, you can create you own library in your computer and
synchronize with the server. You can import MARC files. I think that you want
one simple and free tool, this a good choice. Try ;)

Regards,

Hey friendly catalogers,
I am in need of software that will create Marc records and will also allow me to
create shelf list files based on the data, and it needs to be pretty
inexpensive. I am independent of a library, and I don't need any circulation
software or an OPAC interface.
Bibliofile looks good but it costs too much.
SmartMarc will create the Marc record but I can't export it in any format but
Marc or Microlif.
Any other possibilities? I need the data input to be fairly simple and not based

Thanks in advance,

Dear collegues:

These articles have been free published in the section SIGNATURES of the
Documentation Sciences Foundation (www.documentalistas.com):

1-Title: New trends in Distributed Computing at the Extremadura Research Centre
for Advanced Technologies. The Virtualization approach.
Abstract: Scientists are demanding more and more computation resources every
year. Their requests have been partially solved by using distributed computing
techniques where several institutions collaborate increasing computing power.

2- Title: Conceptualizacion of Science.
Abstract: Science as a discipline, as one of the components of human learning,
has been widely studied, among many, by Federico Mayor, Vernadsky, Eloy Terrón,
Gutiérrez Ríos, Henri Poincaré, and other of various convictions.

3- Title: Science as a System.
Abstract: Today, precisely because of the vast evolution in science with the
subsequent repercussions on the activity of the human brain, which as a greater
capacity of abstraction, strict compartmentalization can no longer be considered
valid. Different fields of knowledge are interrelated and interdependent. For
this reason it has once again become fashionable to apply the Systems Theory to
any activity of the human intellect.
