I've found that to be the greatest obstacle to having a separate intake library. I can't look up what the author/series name should be when that author/series in not in the same physical library.
Yep, this ^^
Though I have never thought of it as an obstacle, I just could not see a reason to do it.

I have one library. I "Add book with no format" and manually fill in the metadata, then drop in the ebook file, or leave the entry as a stub file if the book is a "want to read" entry. I use the drop down boxes to select the correct author, series and publisher.

But I am not adding hundreds of books a week. Sometimes none, sometimes two or three a week. All easily managed at the time of adding.
