What is the easiest way to index pre-existing bibliographies?
As a freelance editor, I’ve had to put other people’s bibliographies into EndNote before. It’s not too hard once you get a rhythm going. For one job I did 250+ citations in about 4 hours (this was in the medical field). My system was to use Google Scholar and select the option to “show links to import citations into EndNote” under Scholar Preferences. This allowed me to mostly avoid data entry, other than typing a few words from the title for each citation. Seems you could use the same system with BibTex or RefMan, too. Having used EndNote and RefMan, I recommend EndNote – it is far easier to use. With either one, it is very easy to switch citation styles. The very best thing about using bibliographic software over Word’s crappy reference system is the ability to cite refs more than once and have the system keep track of duplicates for you. It rocks.
