bulk change selection of books with input list of scanned isbn barcode numbers
Hi all
Is there a simple way of bulk changing a selection of books which I have a list of scanned through the barcode I want to change - the field series on the first page of basic meta data - 2 custom fields (my book shelf index, where the books are located Thought is to quick scan a shelf of books in a notepad asci file and use that as input (copy paste) scanned selection list would look like this: These books can be found in my calibre under these numbers 9789026349508 9789026327926 9789026334641 9789026338472 9789026326608 9789026317200 9789026333392 9789082200416 9789082200423 9789020204896 9789079679416 9789079679607 9789079679669 9789021561875 9789022587447 9789022583722 9789022581124 9789022585627 9789022578452 9789022591772 9789022584798 9789022586051 9789022581698 |

Add from ISBN (right click Add Books icon), and use the Tag option,
step2 then select the Tag: Then use Manage Series Plugin to adjust series. Or Bulk mode Metadata Edit to add bulk Field data |

Thanks for this, i've installed the plugin
The books exist already in my library in calibre So looked in the plugin, and it tries to find the books on title by isbn number so finds zero, any idea to change the search ? |

Add from ISBN is built in (it uses a list like yours and it was how I documented my paper Library)
Manage Series (plugin) operates on SELECTED books (thus my tagging in step 1) I use Manage Series to 1)make the series name Uniform (AKA Normalized) 2)set the Series_Index (order) |
