Bibliography processing systems are important to the production of scholarly and technical documents. While the existing systems are a significant aid to authors, their designs are not sufficient to handle the demands that have arisen with their continued use. These demands include larger bibliographic databases, sharing of databases among multiple authors, integration with document editors, and the desire for new features.

This paper examines these issues as they are reflected in three enhancements to the bibliography processing facilities of the GNU Emacs BIBTEX-Mode and TEX-Mode integrated editing environment. The added features were a reference annotation facility, forms-based queries for automatic citation, and an enhanced reference inspection facility supporting WYSIWIG display of references. The design and implementation of the three features are discussed in detail. Their relationship to other bibliography processing tools is discussed. (Revised: April 5, 1993)
