The Freer-Sackler is currently undertaking the task of
migrating all its Published Reference text data to the Bibliography module.
There are some obvious advantages to this, but also a big challenge: formatting
in reports and eventually on the web.
We would like to follow the Chicago Manual of Style formats,
but with several reference types (book, journal, online publication) and
records with 2+ authors and/or publishers, formatting on the fly is looking
pretty challenging, not that it can't be done.
I would appreciate hearing from those of you who have
tackled or are anticipating this problem!
Thanks,
- Jeff
