How many tapes are we talking about?  If it's only a handful I'd probably load all of them into your library and re-import them into your current catalog. 
I don't know of a way to query the old catalog without doing a complete catalog restore.  Any chance you have a test environment you can use as a location to restore the old catalog?

Thks, there are about 10 tapes, difficult a test environment, no problem I could import them.
 
Just 1 additional problem:
 
Tapes were loaded into library without a Barcode, They have only a hand write tape label.
Since there are no barcdoes Running an inventontory shows none in the barcode column, so I think I will not be able to import.
 
So I will need to print again the barcode for the tapes and import them into the library.
 
Is there any other possible solution?, Is possible to import the tapes without a barcode
 
Regards
