Hello,
I'm new to Drupal, haven't installed it yet but will do if I can see that my website project (mainly a bibliography) can be done with Drupal & your bibliography module that seems to be fantastic.
As I've read that a new version is prepared, may I suggest the possibility of displaying an image of each book cover, on each entry's page ? (and why not in a smaller size in the list of publications itself, that would also act as a link (like the title of the book) to the description ?
I've read that other users need to display a picture for each entry, I hope you can implement this feature.
All the best, Sylvain
PS : Sorry if this is already possible, but :
1) I must stress that the possibility to decide in which order each field is displayed each entry's detailed page is very important
2) the possibility of having a multiple bibiography (or different collections whithin the main bibliography : primary sources/secondary sources or to separate different topics within the same bibiography) is very important as well.
best regards, S

Hi Sylvain,
It is not currently possible to display cover images using only the biblio module, however it should be possible to construct what you want if you use the "Views" module as well. I should caution you though, as a new Drupal user you may find the learning curve rather steep.
You are not the first to make this request, and I hope to incorporate this feature into the module eventually however I just haven't had the time yet.
With regard to your other questions...
1) The field display ordering is not user configurable (again unless you use Views), however there are a number of standard formats supplied with the module such as AMA, APA, Chicago, MLA, Vancouver.
2) Although I started to implement collections, that is not finished yet. You can use the core "Taxonomy" module to classify entries within your bibliography though.
Hope that helps,
Ron.
