Using Sharepoint 2010 to view items from two different libraries

I am using SharePoint 2010 and  would like to display information from a Site Pages library and a Documents library based upon an identical field name that is contained in both libraries.  My thought was to tie the information together based upon this one field and create a view.  I have tried a Content Query WebPart,  but cannot figure out how to connect information from each library into one view.  

Is this possible to do this? If so, what approach should I start with?  Even though I am a developer to this particular SharePoint site, the farm administrators have disabled the use of SharePoint Designer.   So I cannot use that tool as a resource.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks Jamie and Rainer for the suggestions.  Again having limited administrative access has hampered some of my development options.
Jamie -- if I were to use your solution, how are the functions called.  As with all my css, I have them in a text file and "call" the scripts via a content editor webpart. Would this be the same scenario by placing the code in a text file and "calling" these functions via a content editor webpart?

Rainer -- I have actually looked at using jquery.  Would the library be uploaded to the "site assets" library?  I currently have my css files in that library and reading other articles, this seems the place to place these type of documents.  What I am not sure about is the permissions level the "farm" administrators have dumbed down the site administrators.  Currently I cannot even grant permissions to users.

If there are other areas I could be looking at, please let me know.

Thanks
Debbie

Hi Debbie,

The scripts should be placed in Site Assets library, and could be surfaced as a reference in CEWP as you suggest.

Scripts will run under the permissions of the user viewing the page, if they have permissions to the source libraries, no issues.
Your help has saved me hundreds of hours of internet surfing.
