Depends on many factors, which is why I will not advise on that method.
My Library is 10+ year in the building. The first 900 books were EMPTY, just logging in my paperback collection. It took months just to Barcode scan / hand key (pre barcode) those. AND it took a YEAR to polish the metadata. There is no re-add for those.
I also collect User Guides/Quick setup/ spec sheet for all my equipment. Many of those were downloaded from official sites. Many are no longer made or the company is GONE.
Now you see why there is no general answer for your issue.
