Metadata Sources for Awards, Bestseller Status, Etc.
Hi folks,
I'm interested in tagging my large collection with major prizes, appearances on best seller lists, and similar meta-metadata.

Does anyone have any suggestions for sources for this kind of metadata, or ways to automate the process?

To be clear, I'd like to tag books that have won a Booker, Pulizer, Nobel, Hugo etc. with that status. Ideally I'd love to tag books that were shortlisted as well.

I'd also like to tag books that appeared on the NYT Bestseller list.

I've done some manually, but there's a lot to look up, and it would be great to have a way to accomplish it automatically.

Thanks for any suggestions!

If you search this subforum for "awards" you'll find some suggestions.

Adding a custom column for Awards, if you want to give it a little makeover later you can add an image of the award as an emblem in the cover box
