Over the past ten years we have developed a libray / bibliographic database in Advanced Revelation. We now want to reformat our records into MARC format, for loading into a government-wide system. Does anyone know of a utility for AREV to MARC conversion?
Thanks for any comments.

I am not aware of any such tool. Strictly speaking it shouldn't be a major problem but will need writing.
Are you considering going Z39.50? We have looked at this for a bibliographic tool we have created but have not yet gone ahead.

Eloquent Systems has an AREV-based cataloging product with MARC conversion functionality. It's not really a snap-on utility, but it might be worth your while to check it out. The MARC module is quite comprehensive. (Actually I used to work there and helped write it.)

A word of caution. Whatever product you choose for the conversion, make sure it is 100% compliant with the government system. MARC comes in more than one flavour, and different vendors may not implement it fully.
