Exporting references from a central to local bib file
Raw
export-references.sh
## using natbib
## when finished adding refs, run
bibexport --nosave -o [LOCAL_BIB_FILE] main.aux
## then switch the \bibliography command from the central file to the local one, ie change
# % \bibliography{[CENTRAL_BIB_FILE]}
# % \bibliography{[LOCAL_BIB_FILE]}
# % with biblatex you would run something like
jabref -n --aux main.aux,[LOCAL_BIB_FILE] [CENTRAL_BIB_FILE]
## and again switch which bib file you're working with
# % \addbibresource{[CENTRAL_BIB_FILE]}
# % \addbibresource{[LOCAL_BIB_FILE]}

I use the Zotero + Better Bibtex to keep the library in automatically sync with a bibtex file

That's different than pulling cited references for a book or paper from one or more master .bib files, whether you use Zotero or not
