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.
