Upgrade StorageCreating second library or other organization solution for large libraries
Hi,
I have a very large library of references, some of which I am keeping simply to reference at some stage but do not need to access them on a regular basis. Having such a large library slows down when Zotero initially loads, though, and makes it more complicated when I'm inserting citations through the Word integration.
For those of you who have similar issues and developers, do you create second libraries? Subcollections? Export and store them in another reference system? If you do create second libraries, could you point me to documentation on how to do that? I can't find anything specific in the documentation.

If speed is a significant issue, then I think separate profiles might be the easiest solution. This solution: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles works with Zotero, too, with small modifications to the commandline commands.
