Over the course of writing my dissertation I switched from one means of
generating reference information to another (bibdesk to papers). As a result I
use two large .bib files in my dissertation, an old one and new one. I treat
them both as libraries from which I can draw references, so they are both
larger than my final bibliography. However there was a period when I was trying
to consolidate the two and that means there are duplicate entries which is
throwing errors from the latex compiler.
