Abstract
The thebibliography environment discussed in Hour 14 cannot differentiate the types of references, i.e., whether an article or a book. Moreover, even if not cited, all the references inserted in the environment are printed in the output of a document. It has a drawback, particularly when references are to be included from a separate database file. These drawbacks can be overcome in the BibTeX program discussed in this Hour. The BibTeX program automatically follows some predefined structures according to the chosen bibliography style.
