Magazine Management

In advance, please forgive me if this information has already been posted. I have searched, and did not find anything specifically useful.

I'm looking for an easy way to manage my magazine collection. Perhaps it's the late hour, but I can't seem to find a tool for this, and calibre doesn't seem setup by default to handle these. I read something about using the date as a series to separate them, but that seems kludgy.

I have scores of PDFs, arranged in a folder structure such that uses the title for sorting (SciAm, NatGeo, etc) then within that folder the individual PDFs are labeled Scientific American - September 2011. Ideally, I'd like to further separate them by year, but I don't want to confuse calibre even more.

How can I get these organized properly in calibre? I imported them and it looks like a jumbled mess, with no proper metadata. With just a test import, I have 25 different "Authors" for different issues of the same magazine. I'd like these to be sorted under publication, then by date, hopefully with all the metadata filled out.

How can I accomplish this?
