Merging Libraries

There are two ways to merge complete libraries: Merging Libraries through Sync or Importing EndNote Libraries to import one library into another. (For information on copying selected references from one library to another, see Copying and Pasting Complete References.)

Any time you add references to a library, the newly added references are assigned new record numbers in the order that they are added to the library. This means that a reference that was #23 in a smaller library could become #600 in a larger library.

Note: Before merging libraries, we strongly suggest making a backup copy of the library into which you are transferring references. See Saving a Compressed Copy of a Library and Saving a Copy of a Library for information on creating a backup.
