Suggest Useful Library Management Practices to me

Hello all,

I'm in the process of re-working my calibre content from one laptop to another.

For now I've decided to work with the few newer-to-me books I have on the new laptop and I would like to set up a good process.

I'm taking the time to learn how to work and customize the CALM plugin.

My thought is to
  1. have an Intake library
  2. extract ISBN's in the Intake library
  3. download metadata in the Intake library
  4. run CALM with Intake as the source library
  5. when happy with the contents of the target CALM library, move and rename it to become the new Main library
  6. delete the CALM library
  7. delete books from the Intake library
  8. each subsequent new CALM library would be a source for "add books to library" for the main library

Is that a good flow?

Then when I better have a handle on library management in Calibre I can add in my multiple calibre libraries on my old laptop.

TIA for any input!
