You would then use the Copy to library (delete after copy) feature to copy the books to the Tagret library. By default that feature is in the book list context menu.
Some users, me included, adopt this approach to get the correct values for all the metadata columns they regard as important before copying to the Target library.
I also use the Find Duplicates plugin's Find library duplicates feature to search for duplicates between the Intake and Target library before I do the copy.

I use a different method to achieve essentially the same result. An intake library would be a pain in my case, because I have several different libraries with several different sets of custom columns, so I would need a different intake library for each main library.
What I did was create a custom Yes/No field in each library, then set up a virtual library to list all books where the value of that column is not Yes. When I add a book, that column defaults to blank, so it automatically shows up in my To Fix virtual library. Once I clean up the metadata, I mark that column as Yes to remove it from To Fix.
