Move Books into Series
Is there some way to automagically pull the series information from a site like goodreads and automatically tag all of the books in a library into the proper series?

Thanks.

Series info is returned for configured sources as part of Get Metadata'
My observation: No consistent (within a) series naming
The Series
Series
Series, The
IMHO do it (download Metadata) by hand, massage before commiting

I agree with theducks. The sites don't tend to be consistent with the naming of series. I usually fix by hand afterwards.

But, you could try the Manage Series plug in. With it you can select the books in a series and order them in one go.
