I would like to ask if there is any good program for ubuntu 12.04 to organize a library of books.I want to mention that I also have books written in my native language (Greek) and I have books written in other languages like English,French, etc too .So basically I need an application which can fetch information from databases for Greek books.

For example - Adding a Greek (ISBN) book database source and when I type the ISBN of the book in the program ,it should find the book from that databases.

Is this possible? I already tried Tellico and GCstar but they were unable to find books with Greek ISBN .I tried to add a Greek book source but it wasn't successful.

  • Have you tried Calibre , Install it from Ubuntu Software Centre.

  • Can you add real books or only e-books?If it can,does it have the ability to add where the book is placed in the library?And how do you add sources where it can fetch info for Greek books? Jun 23, 2012 at 9:32
  • Only ebooks can be added, also supports fetching info from custom sources. For further info view this.

  • In which point exactly does it say that you can add custom sources? Jun 23, 2012 at 9:56
  • Adding sources here means getting rss or news feeds from books site , see faq. But if your source is a network library, or book sites , both can be done in calibre.

I successfully added this Greek z39.50 source to Tellico, and executed some searches. I don't know whether the coverage is enough for the books you have, but you might want to give it a shot.
