Finding Authors in Common Across Dozens of Lists

I currently have publication lists for ~3 dozen faculty members. I need to find out how many publications are in common across all faculty members - person 1 with person 2, person 1 with person 3, person 2 with person 3, person 1 with both person 2 and person 3, etc.

One person may have
Last1, F1., Last2, F2., with an et al after the first 2 or 3 authors.

Another person may have
Last1, F1, Last2, F2, and list 15 or 20 authors

And another person may have
Last1 F1, Last2 F2, and so on.

Some people have (YYYY) after the authors and before the title of the paper. Some people have (YYYY) at the very end (after journal, volume, and page numbers).

Most people I've talked have said to bite the bullet and do a lot of manual work, like copy the article titles into a new document, sort, then look them up in the original publication lists. There will be hundreds of pages of publications, so I'm not too anxious to do this!

Any ideas/hints will be much appreciated. Thanks, Peggy 3/29
