Over the years I have been building a nice library of references in my research field of DEA. Although my bibliography is not the most complete one maintained, it does have references to most of the publications in the field since its inception in 1978 up to 1995. In addition to this, I have also been maintaining an introduction to my research field on the Web.

It finally occurred to me to combine the two efforts when I saw that Niles had posted an HTML style for EndNote.

In about one hour I had been able to create an HTML bibliography with hundreds of references. Besides a standard alphabetical list of references, it also included abbreviated references of papers sorted by year, subtopics, and application areas with links to the full reference.

Feel free to take a look for yourself. http://www.emp.pdx.edu/dea/deabib.html

What is next? Well, I have people write to me sometimes telling me to add another paper to the bibliography. I hope to work with a student of mine in letting people submit additional entries to my main EndNote database through an electronic submission form. Forms could then be collected and then imported into the main database.

Another goal that is even more ambitious would be to try and investigate the automating the revision of my HTML bibliography.

Somewhere down the road I would also like to be able to carry my bibliography around with me on my Psion Series 3a PDA. Now that would be handy to be able to have with me while at conferences...
