Not sure what you mean by this. Where is it located and who shares it?

You each have your own computers. Are they networked over a LAN? Is the 
iTunes Library on a shared external hard drive? Do you each have an 
unique iTunes Library file on your respective computers?

Your description lacks specificity, you don't describe your setup with 
any clarity. I can't be specific with a response.

If you each have your own computers, it would seem that you could 
simplify the problem by having individual music libraries on each 
computer and then connect your individual ipods and make any changes or 
updates you like. But given the lack of information, perhaps I simply 
don't understand what you are trying to do.

I recommend that you state what computer(s) you have, what OS you are 
running, what version of iTunes you have, if and how they are connected, 
how you presently share your iTunes library, and a clearer description 
of what difficulties you are trying to overcome.
