I need a workspace separate from my library
When I work, like to download material with a view to reading it, annotating it, and possibly deleting it. However, as my Zotero library grows, this is becoming increasingly difficult, because the temporary material gets intermingled with my permanent library. I need a place to store stuff before I've finished working with it. There is an obvious workaround, which is pretty clunky. I can create a group with me as the only member, and use that for my permanent library, and use "My library" as a temporary storage place.
Can I suggest two alternatives that would work better?
1) Allow people to create multiple libraries in their account
2) Create a new type of Collection called "new material". This would be the default place for new downloads. When records are moved from the "new material" collection, they are automatically moved, instead of being copied.
