How do I retrieve information off of concourse. I need to enter holdings into a new system/ computer. I don't think concourse has any new updates for the system

If you still have your records, you could try...readerware... it is out of business, but the three units are still available at Microsoft Store: https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9n68pm4md4w1?hl=en-US&gl=US
If it works as it used to, you can download records for the books by LC #, or ISBN from various book sites like Barnes and Noble. I think they stopped doing this because to get into those database they kept RW from accessing them without updates. But that's just for online work directly. You can still use Library of Congress (LC_) by searching for the records for a particular book and copying the marc information and pasting it into you software. I haven't used it for a while but if it is still available, I would certainly try it.

When I switched our collection from Concourse to Libib, a cloud-based circ program, I downloaded it as a CSV file.
Sadly, it didn't import nicely because several of the fields didn't match but it was better than starting from scratch.
What program are you switching to?
I've thought about Tiny Library, or Success.Something with a fairly low expense.
Just double-checking with you, Marie...have you successfully downloaded your records from Concourse yet?
