Two Zotero accounts
I presume it would be stupid to create a second Zotero account for a project that I want to be separate from my routine scholarship, right? This might potentially wipe my existing Zotero data. Since I ultimately want the citations from the second account to be public, I could create a group now and drag and drop from my regular Zotero into it.
I just didn't want to blend the tags for the second project into my main library.

There are scenarios that warrant two accounts, but they're rare (e.g., I have a second account that I use in presentations on Zotero so people don't get confused by all my items & groups) and you should really know what you're doing -- it's not super likely, but you can absolutely mess up your Zotero data with multiple accounts.
Problem: How can I use of two different Zotero stand-alone (resident) databases on a single PC so I can capture research reference sources into those resident databases to enable separation between personal and scholarship purposes?
At present, my PC has my personal Zotero stand-alone database installed and capturing research sources and syncing fine to that account. How can I install a second stand-alone database that I use for scholarship on the same PC? (sorry for repeat question).
Appreciate your help. Zotero is great. I just need more of it.
