[Nottingham] Bibliographic software

[Iain Moppett]

Join the club: I too am thesis writing and I'm ashamed to say I'm having to use the workround of writing everything in OOW, and occasionally reinserting the unformatted references from Endnote in Windows ({author, year, #no}).  The only software I could find was for Tex.  The big advantage of Endnote etc over hardcoded bibliography is the downloadable nature from Medline etc.

If anyone has any bright ideas I'd be very grateful.  Perhaps we could persuade LinuxFormat or simlilar to run a tutorial on how to code such a pice of software!

I've never tried it, but I believe OpenOffice is supposed to have
bibliographic capbilities buit in as standard.
