| An edited volume featuring separate bibliographies at the end of each chapter will still use a single BibDesk file. To manage the various entries for each chapter, it is helpful to use the field **Keywords**, in which you may enter, for example, **Chapter2** or abbreviations such as **2.2**. Keywords in the database are automatically displayed in the left column of your BibDesk file. Clicking on an entry with the keyword **Chapter2**, for example, will cause BibDesk to display only those entries containing this keyword. | An edited volume featuring separate bibliographies at the end of each chapter will still use a single BibDesk file.

| + | Keywords can also be used if you want to include separate bibliographies, e.g. for primary and secondary sources. In that case a keyword like "primary" should be added to all the primary sources and another one like "secondary" for the secondary sources. The printbibliography command can be expanded to print only entries matching a specific keyword. | ||

| + | A BibDesk entry can of course contain multiple keywords. | ||
| + | ===== Convert citations ===== | ||
| + | If you have a list of formatted citations, you can use the function **New Publications from Clipboard** from the **Publication** menu to get help with filling in the various fields of the entry. Select entries from a formatted list of publications and select above function. While moving from entry to entry, choose the appropriate publication type, highlight the relevant part (like year, author, or publisher) and press the key combination attached to this field. Select **Add** before moving to the next entry. | ||
