Virtual Library sounds like marketing jargon to me.

The manual uses the word Filter in a similar context on command line switches

I suggest the terms Primary and Secondary Filter be used, then there is little doubt as to which comes first (takes precedence) and what's being done - "filtering' - as in selecting the books that meet the criteria - nothing virtual about that, it's real.
