In this screencast, we’ll show you how to manage multiple libraries.

Might want to change your title. This isn’t “managing” multiple libraries, it’s switching between multiple libraries. I was looking moving pics between multiple libraries, which would be some type of library management. Your tip is great, but doesn’t really constitute “management”.

Nice little guide; exactly what I was looking for. I have lots of friends photos from events and whatnot that I like to maintain, yet I don’t like the idea of housing them in the same library as my photos. Using this functionality will allow me to keep one iPhoto library for my own photography, and another for friends’ pictures.
In response to the person above, I think the title is fine. If you view managing from a higher perspective, I would say that juggling which iPhoto library you are using constitutes management, and in any case I arrived at post after searching for “multiple iPhoto libraries”, so the title worked for me.

Thanks Monsignor Martinez. Glad we could help you out. It took me a while to stumble on how to do that. I’m not sure why they’ve decided to bury the option to do that.
