Post 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

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)
