Bibliographies
A bibliography is useful for displaying references used 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 8 (Getting Started with Base) in
the Getting Started guide.
Creating a bibliographic database
Although you can create references within the document itself,
creating a bibliographic database allows reuse in other documents and
saves a lot of time.
