I do a very similar thing.  Rather than use the Label field I renamed the Custom
1 field to "Where filed".  See the Reference Types option under Edit.
If I have a copy of a particular reference I type the name of the folder that
it is filed in.

The only problem is getting a list of all articles in my personal collection.
EndNote does not allow you to search for all fields that are EMPTY.  To get
around this I've placed the string "no" in all fields.  I did this by exporting
the entire library into REFER format, adding a %1 field and then importing it
back into EndNote.  The problem is that every update to the database will still
contain a blank field.  Niles should really expand the Find capabilities to
allow searching for a null string.
