     1.4 +This file gives an overview on what you will need to do to create a
     1.5 +bibliographic database for references, as well as create the actual
     1.6 +bibliography for your thesis.
     1.7 +
     1.8 +You should not need to touch the file biblio.tex.  This merely tells
     1.9 +latex to look for the file with the bibliographic info.  The file you
    1.10 +want to edit is main.bib.  For each entry, use the appropriate style
    1.11 +as designated in the file.
    1.12 +
    1.13 +Citing your references:
    1.14 +
    1.15 +When you cite a reference, you need to use the ``key'' you declare in
    1.16 +main.bib for the entry.  No one ever sees the keys, but you'll want to
    1.17 +use something you will easily remember.  For instance, if you had an
    1.18 +entry with:
    1.19 +
    1.20 +	key=geer1
    1.21 +
    1.22 +Then you would use \cite{geer1} to reference it within your thesis.
    1.23 +
    1.24 +NOTE: You can not include references in your bibliography that are
    1.25 +never cited in your paper by default. If you need to do this, create a
    1.26 +key for the entry and at the end of your thesis include the line:
    1.27 +
    1.28 +\nocite{key}
    1.29 +
    1.30 +This should be done for every entry which is not explicitly cited.
