Bibliographies

A bibliography is useful for displaying references that occur throughout a document. These references are either stored in a bibliographic database or within the document itself. This section shows you how to:

• Create a bibliographic database; add and maintain entries.
• Add a reference into a document.
• Format the bibliography.
• Update and edit an existing bibliography.

For most of this section, the database table used is the sample one that comes with Writer. For information on creating a new table in the bibliographic database, see Chapter 7 (Getting Started with Base) in the Getting Started guide.
