Multiple Master Source files in bibliography word 2007?

samy
Is it possible to creat more than one Master Source in bibliograpgy. I over a thousands references on various subjects and I need to have a different Master Source for each eg one for politics, one for medical, and one for citations in different language such as Arabic etc.

    I'm not sure what you mean by "master source." If you mean database, then no. Use collections and tags to divide up your items.

    You could actually use multiple database files. Unfortunately, you do have to restart Firefox when switching from one database to another.

    Here's how: in your file manager, create a number of folders (e.g. D:\Zotero\Medicine\, D:\Zotero\Politics\, etc.) Then go to Zotero's preferences (Gear icon), tab 'Advanced'. Under storage location you can specify the location of the database. Choose the Medicine folder you just made and import your medicine stuff. Then choose the Politics folder and import your politics stuff, etc. In this way, you end up with different databases for each subject.

    However, you might consider using Zotero's powerful collection and tagging features, as Bruce is suggesting. You could have master collections for all the subjects, and subcollections within them, etc.
