@Shel... It's the top button you want "Use existing library at the new location". It really means "Use the library which is already stored at the selected location".

Is there a way to search across all libraries?
Hi there,
I have created several libraries like non-fiction, fiction, magazines, newspapers but is there a way to search for a book across all libraries? Is there a search function that enables you to do that? Thanks |

Tags within a Single library will accomplish the same thing. Think of each of those Library's you have created as a Tag. Want to see only Newspapers. (don't get lost here. there are 3 different uses of Tag here) Click the Newspapers Tag inside the Tags section of the Tag Browser . Since you want to do additional searches, it may be easier to create a 'Newspaper' FILTER. Once a filter is applied, searches only look at the filtered results. Setting up saved filters is easy and is covered in the manual. |

I've just read through this entire thread, but unfortunately I'm mystified by most of the discussion. I was looking to see if I could maintain two libraries at the same time and just point to whichever I wanted. I'd rather have my library and my wife's library kept separately.
My real concern is just how many books Calibre can safely manage. Perhaps I have no reason for concern. If I were to have 2500 or 3000 books will I run any greater risk that I'll experience difficulty or corruption in my library? |

AFAIK the only restriction is The whole Library must be on ONE (logical) drive. You can have more that one on a drive. |

Have fun.
There are folks that have 10-20K worth of books in a Library. You might get sluggish performance, especially on a Limited RAM machine (RAM is cheap, IMHO go for the maximum the the OS<->hardware supports) or a older CPU (I run P4's) |
