I just use an off-the-shelf database (dBase, Access, Filemaker, etc) to
compile a single "mother-of-all-bibliographies' then add fields for making
selections for subjects, projects or particular reports I am working on.
Then I create a variety of formats/layouts/reports (whatever the software
calls them). As most of these programs allow exporting to a Word file,
and/or creating a Word mail merge its pretty straightforward.

The tricky part is putting the bibliographic references in. By getting into
the habit of automatically putting tabs between fields or writing them into
a table, the reformating can be avoided.

not a very high tech solution, but sometimes I find the home grown result
is faster and works better that learning a new program.


All the Best
