You might want to consider having an Intake library and a Final library. Get the metadata up to scratch in Intake, use the Find Duplicates Optional Plugin->Library Duplicates feature to check the books you have in Intake are not already in the Final library.

Use Copy to Library option in te Book List context menu to move the 'good' books from Intake to Final.

And Fix the metadata as you go. Don't wait till the end. The task will seem impossible.

Note: When I documented (created an empty book) my paper library using Add from ISBN and a Barcode scanner, I did them in batches of 20. There were almost always problems (not found, no barcode, so old that there was no ISBN inside the book . If a cover was not found (or it was different), I slapped the book on the Scanner and took care of that.
