*OPDS catalogs seem to be the ideal way to go when it comes to a directory system. The Get Books Activity supports OPDS, as does the Internet Archive which the Get Internet Archive books Activity uses. (Does File Share Server support OPDS?)

*Sayamindu's proposed a workflow that proceeds thusly:
**1. Have a specified directory on the file system which is crawled periodically via cron.
**2. If a new file is found, metadata is extracted either from the file, or from an external CSV file which is also found at a fixed location (CSV so that deployments can use any spreadsheet software while adding
books.)
**3. Once metadata is obtained successfully the file is added to the index. The index is then generated into OPDS catalogs, which can be queried from any XO to the XS.
