With all due respect it can make things easy to learn certain "tricks" for
going from one instrument to the other.

I don't see how it hurts to learn or use a trick for going from Bb to Eb
(use fingering from the other octave).

There is tons of stuff on the web on how to transpose. Here is a link on
how to transpose clarinet:

Here is a general discussion of transposition

Here are some charts

Here's a shockwave transposition wheel (note: if you really learn the cycle
of fourths you can easily do this in your head)

I don't think sneezy needs another article, just check what's already on the
web.
