Below, I've listed just a few. Reading about their experiences can help you to decide one way or the other about whether you'll genrefy your own library.

For a $200 fee, they'll take your MARC records for fiction books and match them to genres by title or ISBN number. While the fee may or may not be feasible for your library, it's worth keeping this in mind when you're ready to begin the genrefication process (if you choose to do so), as it can help to reduce the workload of sorting all of the collection's titles before reshelving.
