I would like to use it to automatically add a bibliography to my reports.For example: in Word, I can type in the name of a book, right-click on it, select the book in Endnote and when I am finished, all the books' data will be added to my bibliography. I want to do the same in Mathematica. Main problem is that Mathematica must be able to access the database and recognize the data and that when the document is exported, a bibliograpy is automatically added.
