(IMHO too many, just slows down the fetch process. OTOH have more than 1 , good ones, ups your chances of a decent return  ) |
I learned that when we "Download Metadata" for just one book, we are happily given the option to choose from the metadata from various sources.This way, we can select the correct book (which usually means correct metadata).
On the other hand, it's too bad that when we select multiple books and run "Download Metadata", it gives us no option as to which source (out of the several I've enabled) to use.
All this to say, sometimes I'm forced to run Download_Metadata one book at a time.
Here's my workflow:
1. Click the "Extract ISBN" (a plugin i installed) on those books that are without an ISBN.
2. Select multiple books.
3. Run "Download Metadata".
4. Click "Reject" if the metadata (including the title/author) is wrong.
5. For the rejected books, run Download Metadata one book at a time.
6. Choose the correct set of metadata for each book (e.g., it may be kobobooks.com for one book and amazon for another and GoogleBooks for another and GoodReadsEvenMoreTags for another).
