Adding a large collection of PDF books
Posted: Sun Oct 27, 2019 2:21 am
What would be the best way to add a large collection of PDF books to Bookends?
These are all work related books that I keep in related folders (like Logic\ or Calculus\ ) and they are all named after the pattern "Author - Title-Publisher-Year".
Right now I see no way of even minimal automation of the process, I have to create every single entry manually and then just attach every book to its entry. So any help with at least partial automation would be greatly appreciated.
The other question is if I should consider other software for a book keeping? (I think Bookends primary goal is to organize journal articles)
Very rarely I do have to cite one book or the other but I guess in these rare instances I can insert citations manually. The primary objective is to have a single repository with all the books with convenient sorting and organizational features.
