Hi Jim, The appearance of the detailed list of references is usually determined by the bibliography style that you are using. Is there a particular style of references that you need (for example, footnotes)? Or is there a particular style that you are aiming for? It would be especially helpful if you know the name of the style manual.
Once you know what kind of citation style you require in the document, then it's just a matter of finding a bibtex template that provides it. Most LaTeX distributions come with a huge number of bibtex templates already installed and may already have the one you need. If not installing a new template isn't particularly hard. You can change the style template by clicking on the bibliography inset, and then choosing the appropriate option from the drop down list. For more informataion, you might want to look at the bibtex styles information on the Reed College website (http://web.reed.edu/cis/help/LaTeX/bibtexstyles.html). If you have a hard time finding a template without a formatted list of references, you can always accomplish the same thing by a strong arm approach. Simply place your bibliography at the very end of the document. Then, when you generate the PDF, lop off those pages. Either Acrobat Professional or PDF-Shuffler are good tools for this purpose (this article has some additional information on PDF tools for Linux, http://blog.oak-tree.us/index.php/2010/05/26/pdf-linux). While this approach is slightly less than elegant, it does get the job done. And it's probably as fast as commenting out code lines.
