DocuLib

A simple GUI for managing document metadata for books, textbooks, or articles.

Design principle

The underlying idea is to locally store certain types of files in different libraries. Inside a library the directory structure becomes irrelevant and DocuLib keeps track of metadata for you, such as author, title, tags, DOI, etc. You can then quickly find a certain file by using keywords in the metadata. The key features of DocuLib are the following:

• Files can be moved or renamed within or between libraries without losing metadata, changes are detected automatically

• Automatically detect and mark duplicate files

• Metadata includes

  • authors

  • title

  • publishing year

  • tags

  • bookmark

  • notes

  • DOI/ISBN

• Search for metadata on openlibrary.org and semanticscholar.org

• Obtain bibTex from crossref.org

• Manage multiple libraries in different locations

• Error permissive search
