Hello,

Is there a way to add to the bibliography list in Bookends, namely in the database, citations taken from documents in archives.

TIA

Raymond

I do not really understand what you are asking for / what you mean by "citations taken from documents in archives".

Do you mean a specific kind of reference type (for example "archive document" as compared to "book" or "journal article")?

Or do you mean a citation taken out of a reference (for example two sentences taken from a book)?

Or something else?

I mean to the example "archive document" as compared....

Is there a possibility?

Yes, you can add a new reference type to your format.

Go to Biblio > Formats Manager

double click the format which you use and which should offer the new "archive document" type

then click on "Type" and choose "Add Typeâ€¦" â€“ then you can define how the new type should be formatted.

Further informations as to how to do this in detail are, of course, in the User Guideâ€¦

It may be (although I am not sure) that what Raymond has in mind is a way to keep two kinds of reference so that one can generate a separate bibliography for archive sources as opposed to other (normal?) sources.
