The word โ€œRETROโ€ indicates that the process is only for already existing records, โ€œCONVERSIONโ€ the form and format of the records changing something from one form to another.

Thus, RETROCONVERSION in the library and Information Centre mean โ€œchanging already existing catalogue from existing traditional form to a machine-readable formโ€

ALA Glossary of LIS defined โ€œthe process of converting the database of library holdings from non-machine-readable form and that are not converted during day to day processโ€

Harroldโ€™s Librarianโ€™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 currentlyโ€
