This one is not really doable. Too many exceptions. L. Sprague de Camp for instance would be de Camp, L. Sprague while Marissa de Fontaine would be Fontaine, Marissa de, Alexandre Dumas père and Alexandre Dumas fils, Ludwig van Beethoven is sorted as Beethoven, Ludwig van. You can handle about 90% of the author names automatically but the remainder will be a pain as you start setting up exceptions and exceptions to the exceptions.

And there are the edge cases:
Joe and Marry Smith Trying for a fully automated FIX is futile. Come on, it takes seconds to fix some of these. The only time Bulk assistance would be of help, is the initial conversion from a filesystem only or documenting your paper library (Took me about a year to get my 900+ paperback metadata close. Some were pre-ISBN. OK Lots ) |
