Hi Org list,
I'm trying to work with multiple .bib files and having trouble.
In my Org file, I have:
#+LATEX_HEADER_EXTRA:\addbibresource{Library.bib,local.bib}
And this works. I can search for a string in reftex and both bibliographies are found. It does not seem to matter what =reftex-default-bibliography= is set to.
But when I export to LaTeX, pdflatex (or latexmk) doesn't work, and complains:
Biber error: [268] Utils.pm:165> ERROR - Cannot find 'Library.bib,local.bib'!
Latexmk: Biber did't find bib file [Library.bib,local.bib]
And the biber documentation states that you cannot use a comma separated list of bibliographies in an =\addbibresource= command. You should use multiple of those commands.
However, if I use multiple of those commands, then Org only searches in the first bib file, not in both.
While writing this email and testing things yet again, I think I've found a way to get this to work. But I'm pretty sure this is exploiting some bug, and not a recommended method. If I have the \addbibresource{a,b} commented out, Org (reftex?) uses this, but it is not exported. I then repeat it twice, breaking apart the comma, and those get exported. For example:
# Note that the first line below is commented out
# #+LATEX_HEADER_EXTRA:\addbibresource{Library.bib,local.bib}
#+LATEX_HEADER_EXTRA:\addbibresource{Library.bib}
#+LATEX_HEADER_EXTRA:\addbibresource{local.bib}
Is this how others work with multiple bibliographies? Some other method?
Thanks,
-k.

Hi Ken, I use John Kitchin's org-ref. Multiple bibfiles can easily be
include. I use this approach for most it for most projects - one global
bib file and one project specific one, e.g. bibliographystyle:plainnat
bibliography:C:/Users/andre/Dropbox/_biblio/refs.bib,C:/Users/andre/Dropbox/Consulting/Projects/RedMeat/MLA_Beef_Measles-C_bovis/literature/cbovis.bib
Hope this helps. Cheers, AK
