Setting-up a big library - where to start?

Hello all ... I'm relatively new to the forum and to Calibre, yet I've inherited the task of setting up a Calibre library for a fairly large collection of eBooks. We have a collection of several thousand eBooks in all different formats on a wide range of topics within the company. Can someone suggest three or four key posts that I should read to help build a good foundation for our library files?

A couple of key questions:

1) Do I organize the files first, then add to Calibre or just add them and then clean-up organization and metadata?

2) How crucial is the file structure of the eBooks prior to adding them to Calibre? Is it difficult to change the location and hierarchical position of a book once in Calibre?

Thanks in advance for any insights you can share.

Cheers, George
