Multiple EndNote Libraries Into One Zotero Account?

elisecaruso
Can you import multiple EndNote libraries into a single zotero account? Given that each library follows the correct syncing process, is that a possibility?

    You can't really have multiple libraries in Zotero, unless you either treat some of the as groups (a bit impractical) or work with different FF profiles (also not very practical for most purposes).
    But obviously you can import multiple Endnote libraries into one singe Zotero library and keep the separated e.g. through collections.

    My experience with EndNote (before I switched to Zotero) is that separate libraries are one of the few ways of organizing references. In Zotero that's all different — you can simply create different collections and cross-categorize items with tags, all within the same interface.

    In fact when you import an EndNote library a new collection "Import [date]" is created. If you rename that collection to whatever is the name of that EndNote library you basically have what you seem to need, plus the added advantage of being able to organize the items in cross-cutting ways and to search all collections at once.
