nabsltd, I'm intrigued by your statement:
"I've solved the problem by doing all my searches and aggregation using Calibre, then when I decide what I want to check out from where, I use my batch file to have the Cloud Library app log into the right library, and I do what I need. If I have to work with more than one library, I just do them in sequence. Since Calibre is telling me what I need to do and groups the checkouts from one library, it's not too big a deal. "
Can you elaborate on how you do this?
For example, lets say I want to find new books by John Sandford I don't have in Calibre. Currently, I open a browser window and put in "John Sandford books", then look at the list, compare it to what's in Calibre, and if there's a new one, open a second window in Overdrive to see if my library has it. If it does, I open another browser window into the library and put it on hold or borrow it.
If I don't find it at my library, I open the 3M Cloud app (repeatedly for multiple libraries) to see if one of them has the book... If so, put it on hold or borrow.
What of this process can I do in Calibre, and how?
