Creating a Bibliography

Hi all:

I have spent this week thinking about and trying to create collections. Along the way I have found resources I did not know I had, yet they are very good resources. <GRIN>

What I am finding is, slightly different (or quite different, for that matter) rules yield different results. When the list begins to number 15 or 20 volumes, I frankly get lost.

I've tried opening a collection on one side with the library on the other side of my screen and have used different rules in each tool to compare the results. This works well as long as I have only what fits on one screen. (A mind is a terrible thing to lose <grin>)

Can a create a bibliography of a collection so I can compare one rule to another? If this can be done, how do I do it?

    I truly wish I could answer yes ... but I should be truthful and say No, but I wish we could. I'd also like to be able to see what resources are in any collection.

    You can export a collection to a document, print it out and then use it as a baseline for other collection strings.

    Ah yes - I'd forgotten this.

    Works great if you've got less than 5000 resources.  At 5650 you get this at the end.  Apparently it can't handle a large library.

    Sounds like you need to file a bug report!

    But at least for the OP's needs it's unlikely that the collections he was wanting to make would exceed 5000 book! It's hard to imagine such a collection to be helpful in narrowing searches.
