rlm@421 1 This file gives an overview on what you will need to do to create a
rlm@421 2 bibliographic database for references, as well as create the actual
rlm@421 3 bibliography for your thesis.

rlm@421 5 You should not need to touch the file biblio.tex. This merely tells
rlm@421 6 latex to look for the file with the bibliographic info. The file you
rlm@421 7 want to edit is main.bib. For each entry, use the appropriate style
rlm@421 8 as designated in the file.

rlm@421 10 Citing your references:
rlm@421 11
rlm@421 12 When you cite a reference, you need to use the ``key'' you declare in
rlm@421 13 main.bib for the entry. No one ever sees the keys, but you'll want to
rlm@421 14 use something you will easily remember. For instance, if you had an
rlm@421 15 entry with:
rlm@421 16
rlm@421 17 key=geer1
rlm@421 18
rlm@421 19 Then you would use \cite{geer1} to reference it within your thesis.

rlm@421 21 NOTE: You can not include references in your bibliography that are
rlm@421 22 never cited in your paper by default. If you need to do this, create a
rlm@421 23 key for the entry and at the end of your thesis include the line:
rlm@421 24
rlm@421 25 \nocite{key}
rlm@421 26
rlm@421 27 This should be done for every entry which is not explicitly cited.
