BibTeX reacts to the appropriate commands that are in the associated *.aux file. You have to get all the \bibiography and \bibliographystyle commands right since they reappear in the *.aux file. Now tell me what is wrong with the following: \bibliography{journalabbreviations,bib1,bib2,bib3} BibTeX is fast enough, even with many bib files. In addition, with TeX 3.0, BibTeX accepts the BIBINPUTS environment variable which tells it the paths to look into for the *.bib files. -- Ralph P.
