I know this utility can do lots of wonderful things.  It might work for

As the Librarian for the David Rumsey Historical Map Collection, I am
looking for any software tools to make it easier to translate or convert
map
catalog records created in FileMaker (which we can export as excel or
text
or others) to OCLC.  Right now we use a very ponderous cut-and-paste
procedure.

It would be nice to export from FileMaker, tweek the file if necessary,
and
readily import a set of records to OCLC.  Does OCLC have a means to
accept
such files ... a template?  Does anyone have a program to facilitate
such an
approach?  Is anyone doing this or something close?

Thanks.
