bmcs · 10-04-2019, 03:08 PM

Can some kind person please point me to information about batch processing changes of meta data for books in a library.
For example the publisher "CreateSpace" appears in one of my libraries under several different variations of their name. Yes, I can for example find say 4 books with the publisher "createspace.com" and individually edit the metadata for each book, but in some cases there might be hundreds of books with another variant of the publishers name and I don't want to spend days or weeks editing the individual metadata for each book.
IMPORTANT: I am using "Publisher" here ONLY as an example, but there are other book metadata items that I want to batch process.
Any pointers or guidance will be greatly appreciated.
TIA
Dave
