Bookpedia as tool for scientific citations

Post by Robert »

Hi all

Is there a possibility to add a text column in the library picking up exactly the information from the book in a certain order for use in a citation or footnote. The rules for citation format have to be determined individually by bookpedia users.

That would be a great help as this motivated me to get Bookpedia in order to ease citations.

Bookpedia has a MLA bibliography copy option for the selected books. We do want to be able to extend the possible formats of bibliography and it's on our to do list. The issue is that citations are many and not simple and so we can't use the template system like we do for the emails in the preference. Thank you for the feedback about displaying this information directly in a column instead of having it under the copy command, it's something that has never come up.
