Advantages of automatic bibliographical tools
(contd)

  changes itself automatically

• The format of the bibliography can be changed
  automatically as needed
• You can also use the bibliographical tool for
  searching for particular kinds of entries

Available Bibliographical Tools

• Some are very extensive, but also very expensive
  e.g., EndNotes
• Some are very cheap, but not very good...
• Some are free, but might not run on the same kind
  of computer that you have (e.g., BibTex)
• Some are just right i.e., reasonably powerful,
  not too expensive.

The important rule when using automatic
bibliographical tools

• Never make any content changes in the document
  with the automatically produced bibliography in
  it!!!
• This document is only to print... if you make any
  changes in it, these will be lost next time you
  make a new version with a revised bibliography.
