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 Getting Started Guide.
