Judson's Notes

I had a tricky time adding my BibTeX bibliography in Beamer. At first, I got an error about having to do with "\newblock" It turns out that command is not defined in Beamer and must be manually added with this line near the top of your document:

\def\newblock{\hskip .11em plus .33em minus .07em}

Then, after citing references in the normal manner in the text, the bibliography slide can be created via:

\begin{frame}
\bibliographystyle{../setup/mla-good}
\bibliography{my_ref_database}
\end{frame}

A BibTeX reference can possibly be manually added to a slide using the code snippet below, but it will generate an "Undefined control sequence - \end{frame}" error that I haven't figured out how to get around. So far I have not discovered any reliable to way insert a full bibliography (like above) AND insert individual, full references in random slides. So I ended up typing out the few references I needed to insert in the middle of my presentation, rather than continue with the error this code generated.
