If it is in budget send your records to whichever company you go with and
have them do a retrospective conversion. This will not only help have the
best records going forward but also they should be able to provide "Smart
barcodes" for each book that will have the title, author and call number
on them to match to books.
But before you do that Weed all the old stuff you can. no sense paying for
what you are going to weed anyhow.
