migrating serial holdings from dynix to III

[Carol Resco <resco@xxxxxxxxxx>]

We will be migrating our catalog from a dynix system to III
Millennium in the next few months.  My question regards serials
summary holding statements migration.  Currently, our holdings
statement are not part of our MARC record.  We understand that III
could migrate summary holding statements if they appear in the 860's
fields.  The LC manual for this, however, seems somewhat
intimidating and we are wondering if it is worth the effort to get all
our serials in this format before our migration or wait until the
migration is over and do the updating then.  If anyone has had
experience with this, I'd be glad to hear from you!  Thanks--Carol
