Thank you so much Randy. You have answered my question. I have heard
Koha is good library automation software.

IMHO, the first question is what open source package will
you convert to?
The standard for library data is a format called MARC. If
your
commercial package handles MARC exports an open source package
like Koha
<http://www.koha.org> can easily import the data.
