Thanks so much; that's just the trick, and way better than I had hoped for!!! Calibre is such a well-designed program I should have realized there would be such a feature. I guess I misunderstood the purpose of "Copy to Library". I'm including a brief description of what to do below -- just in case some newbie like me has a similar question down the road:
The first thing to note is that the Copy to Library button is not included in the toolbar by default (or at least wasn't on mine), so it should be added in prefs for convenience. Also, I should note that if you give the two libraries different names, quick switching, etc will be a lot easier than if they both are indistinguishable as "Calibre Library". Suppose the two libraries are named "FROMLIB" and "TOLIB". Switch Calibre to library FROMLIB using the "Calibre Library" button. Select the books to transfer and hit the "Copy to Library" button. Choose "TOLIB (delete after copy)". Switch back to TOLIB using the "Calibre Library" button, and they are there.
