Multiple referencelists in a document?

estut
I'm working on a dissertation, containing 7 chapters + 7 different referencelists. Is it possible to arrange such a construction with Zotero? If so, how to do this?
Thanks!
Eric, working with Firefox 3.6.12 and Zotero 2.0.9

    What word processor? What platform (Win, Mac, etc.)? Will you need to have an overall reference list or bibliography in addition to your chapter-specific reference lists? How will you paginate your document / chapters?

    Depending upon what you are using it may be possible and rather simple. If not simple, probably not too painful. The greatest complication will be pagination and that may not be too difficult. You could just create separate documents for your chapters and then string them together.

    However, it may not be so simple right now if your are using OOo on a Mac. There is a Java failure (for about 10 days, now) that breaks much of OOo's fancier formatting tricks. Much of OOo calc is completely broken. I understand that this should be fixed soon.

    For this purpose I prefere working on WinXP, MS Word 2010. In the thesis, each chapter will have his ow referencelist. There will not be an overall ref.list. Pagination is continuous, starting with page 1-Chapter 1 and ending with page 150 (f.e.) for the last appendix. The 7 referencelists are part of the pagination.
    Is the process of stringing together documented somewhere? Is it necessary then to remove the codes?
    Thanks for your comment!

    I don't know if it's strictly necessary to remove the codes, but I'd recommend it, yes.
    So the workflow would be to get everything done in 7 separate documents, then remove the codes and paste them behind each other - done.
    Alternatively, you can keep the documents separate (and keep the field codes in) and tell Word to start each document at the respective page number (i.e. Chapter 2 at p. 151 etc.). If you need them in one document at the end you could do that by converting each to pdf and merging them.

    Ok, Adam, it's clear. Thanks for your quick comments. I'll manage it.
