Combining libraries is a very difficult problem because of the large number
of duplicates.  The duplicate search in EndNote Plus helps a little but it
misses most duplicates because it requires and exact match.  I am hoping that
the next version of EndNote will alow users to set which fields to compare and
how close to make the match.  As it is now, I occationally move my database in
and out of Pro-Cite to check for dups.
    I do have two suggestions that may help a little.  The first is that users
wishing to combine databases not add new citations directly to the main
database but rather to a "addnew" file.  This allows users to check for dups
without reviewing the whole file.  My second suggestion is to sort the database
by page number and then look for the same author names together.
