This plugin uses the catalogue of the Deutsche Nationalbibliothek (DNB) to retrieve metadata.
DNB is the German central archival library. German publishers are required to send them a copy of every book for archival, so it's the largest metadata source for literature published in Germany.
Main Features
This plugin supports retrieval of all relevant metadata (authors, title, cover, ISBN, edition, tags, publication date, languages, publisher, comments, series, series index, URN and DNB-IDN).
For books without series information it can try to extract series and series index from the title. Standardized
GND subjects and/or non-GND subjects can be used as tags.
This plugin works with Python 2 and Python 3.
Limitations
The returned publication date contains only the year, not the precise date.
Installation
Download the attached zip file and install the plugin as described in the
Introduction to plugins thread.
The plugin is also available in Calibre's Plugin Updater.
