Multiple Libraries and Web Access

[wernercd]

Not sure if this is the right place...

but lets say I have multiple libraries: Science Fiction, Cook Books, Programming Books, etc.

Is there an option to have those multiple libraries available on the web front that I don't see?

Currently it only shows the active library, but the other libraries don't seem visible.

You made things complicated if your 3 Libraries do not have structure differences (eg. custom columns)

You will need to start (using the CLI) 3 servers with the necessary specified parameters http://manual.calibre-ebook.com/cli/calibre-server.html

@wernercd - And if they don't have significant structural differences then you might want to think about combining them into a single library and using Virtual Libraries to segregate.

To get a feel for it, you could create a new library that combines the features of the existing libraries, and then use the Copy to Library feature to copy (not move) all or some of the books from each existing library to the New Library.

To keep things simple you might want to create a custom column called 'virtlib' with values SciFi, Cooking, Programming, etc and use its value in the VL search expressions.
