I mean... I know I can create a new column just for this, but my screen isn't that big, and already, there's a lot of important columns visible (date, author, title, format, source, etc.)
If you wanted something both visible and not taking up any more space you could have a hidden column that had a column colouring rule, so your books with correct metadata could have different coloured text in the library view that the ones that needed metadata.

I like to grab metadata from Goodreads, it helps standardise my metadata across my Libraries, especially my tags, but everyone's use case is different.
