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
