See if a local academic campus has a School of Library and Information Studies or an equivalent. If so, approach them (rather than the library proper) to see if an eager graduate school student can/will take on your conversion project for credit. They may have free access to the technology required and may provide free labor too, in exchange for your providing a "real world" work experience (a practicum or internship type effort is usually a requirement in these programs). -- Greg Barniskis, Computer Systems Integrator South Central Library System (SCLS) Library Interchange Network (LINK) , (608) 266-6348
