===== …the Bibliographical Database =====

The Bibliographical Database contains bibliographical information of books, book sections and journal articles connected to the history of quantum physics. The more than 6700 entries include **primary source** as well as **secondary literature**.

===== Basics =====

The Bibliographical Database has a web-representation of our filemaker database. You can find the Bibliographical Database in the website-section "Intranet" under Databases/Bibliographical Database or [[http://quantum-history.mpiwg-berlin.mpg.de/intranet/documentsIntranet/bibliography/search.html | click here]]. The Web-Version of the Database can be used like every other Opacs for many entries there all ready is a link available to get the pdf-file. 

===== The Fileserver-Database =====

|As mentioned above the web-site is a representation of our filemaker database. To add/edit bibliographical information it is neccessary to change the entries in the fileserver database itself. If you are opening the database for the first time you have to open **Filemaker** and click on **Ablage/Öffnen**. | {{:bild_5.png}} |

| In the following menu click on the button **host** on the right bottum of the menu. |{{:host-red.png}} |

| Wait a second for the next window to open than search for the file **bib_quantum.fp5** and open it.
| The list is not alphabetically ordered, you have search for it somewhere in the middle).|{{:bild_2.png}} |


Now wasn't that easy ;-) 
|You don't have to go through this procedure everytime, filemaker keeps track of the databases you use. The next time you can simply click on Ablage and bib_quantum.fp5 will apear on the bottom of chart. |{{:ablage.png}}|

===== Searching items =====

Having opened the database, you will see the first entry of the database. (pick)
You can now ...
  * search for exisisting entries
  * extract bibliographical information
  * edit entries
  * add new entries

===== Searching existing entries =====


To **search for existing entries** press "**apple f**" click on a field, enter word you are searching for and press "enter". To go through the results click on the on the **cart-index symbol** in the upper left corner of the database. Above this symbol there is a **button labled "Quantum"** here you can change the representation of the Database to e.g. "List". In the usual "Quantum"-represantation there is a field on the very right side of the data-sheet for "citation". From this field you can copy and paste the entry for your bibliography.
To **change an existing entry** go to the entry, changed the information to save the changes simply click on the **cart-index symbol**.
