Hi Tassilo, it's really simple: with biblatex one can add bibliography database files with `\bibliography' (same syntax as LaTeX built-in bibliography system) or `\addbibresource'. Here http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/21439/31416 you can see the main differences between the two macros. Both can be used multiple times, and it's here that RefTeX fails.
Following is a minimal working example. In order to use RefTeX `texbook1.bib' and `texbook2.bib' should be in the same directory of the document. They come with a full TeX Live, but you can also download them from http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/info/biblio/ If you prefer, use your own bibliography files. --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- \documentclass{article} \usepackage{biblatex} \addbibresource{texbook1.bib} \addbibresource{texbook2.bib} \begin{document} \cite{Abdelhamid:VLB92} % in texbook1.bib \cite{Abelson:SIC85} % in texbook2.bib \printbibliography \end{document} --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- The user should be able to insert both citation keys using RefTeX, but it will use only keys from `texbook1.bib'. A workaround is to use a comma separated list of files with `\bibliography', but `\addbibresource' is the standard biblatex way to specify bibliography resources and it must be given one resource per macro. As I already said, AUCTeX without RefTeX uses correctly both bibliography databases.
