I’m assisting two professors in building their ProCite database for their
upcoming publications. However, I am not the only one entering in citations
nor are we all using the same machine to do the citation entry. One person
may be doing some work at home while another may be doing work in the
office. At times, we may be separately working on the ProCite database
(with copies of the database on disk) at the same time. What are some
strategies to keep all of our versions straight so we’re not overlapping our
work or overwriting other people’s entries?
Thank you,
Lisa Gardner-Springer

Well, we are in the same situation pretty much here. Assign each person a
block of numbers 1000-2000 and so on. Have them send the disks to the
master database person, or files, or however they come in. The person
maintaining the master list can renumber the new datasets from the last
assigned number in the master set and then upload the new records into the
master set.
If it is redundancy in the materials - assign each person a
different publication or press.
Best,
