RE: how to efficiently combine many libs into 1?

Perhaps I should clarify my reply: the elimination of duplicates is one
of the import options when importing one endnote library into another.

Open one of the libraries save it to a new name ("combined"?) and then
File>Import select the second library and set the Import options
(Endnote Library) Duplicates (discard duplicates - or put duplicates in
a different library) and I assume you don't need any text translation,
although I haven't tested it on older libraries.

You want to import them into one, throwing away the duplicates.  But I
don't know of a script to do it.

Subject: how to efficiently combine many libs into 1?

Hello All,

I have about 82 separate libraries, and I'm sick and tired of trying to
remember where the @#$! I've put this or that reference.  So, I'd like
to combine them all into 1 - if for nothing else than for ease of
retrieval (perhaps I'll still keep them in separate libs for normal
usage).  Is there any better way than opening up each one and
copy-pasting them into one combined library?  Any scripts that will rip
through and combine them automatically?

Another wrinkle is that some of my libs are in the old EN format - ugh.

On another note - has anyone seen Papers for the Mac?  Man - that is
sweet!  I'm almost tempted to get a mac just for that program!
ISI-Thompson better hope they don't port it to windows!

thanks,
allie
