Hello,

I realise that it is frowned down upon a newbie making a new thread, however I have searched google and this site for mentions of my topic of interest to no avail.

I have Calibre and it looks exactly like the program I need, with one flaw: I don't know if it will allow the editing of metadata remotely.

I have a massive library of Chemistry and Physics books, journal articles and chapter from books which doesn't contain metadata and the filenames are inaccurate as well.

As the library is far too big to catalogue solely, it would be of a great help to have others be able to open the files, read the title/authors/ISBN/etc. and then fill in the metadata for the file (either allowing Calibre to attempt to retrieve it from the internet, or manually).

Tell me, does Calibre allow this, is there a plugin which does this, and if not, where can I suggest it for future releases?

Edit: Also, is there a way to add multiple users to Calibre so that I can limit access?
