The word “RETRO” indicates that the process is only for already existing records, “CONVERSION” the form and format of the records changing something from one form to another.

Thus, RETROCONVERSION in the library and Information Centre mean “changing already existing catalogue from existing traditional form to a machine-readable form

ALA Glossary of LIS defined “the process of converting the database of library holdings from non-machine-readable form and that are not converted during day to day process”

Harrold’s Librarian’s Glossary: retrospective conversion (information retrieval) is a partial or complete conversion of an existing catalogue into machine-readable form as opposed to converting records created currently”

 

regards,

Akhtar

Retrospectionve Conversion: It is a process of converting information from a traditional card catalog to an electronic format.
