For a "from clean" source the maximum number of compilation steps is 4
(latex, then bibtex, then latex again, then final latex again to get
the page references right for anything that shifted position following
the previous latex run).

The other way I've found fairly recently is the isbn2bib script by
David Griffith (google it!) - give it an ISBN number and it gives you
a full BiBTeX reference for that publication that you can then paste
into your .bib file... And once you've cited something in one paper,
you never have to retype the reference information again, its all in
your .bib file...
