I'd like to add some annotations to my bibliography (in the
bibliography itself, not in the reference to the bibliography). I.e.,
instead of "Smith, A...." I want "For an interesting discussion of X,
see Smith, A...". I'm using natbib with plainnat style. In Bibdesk,
I added an annotation to the "Annote" section. But nothing shows up
in the bibliography. Anyone know how to do this?

Sorry I don't fully understand your requirement, but I annotate my
bibliography entries using the note field:

@article{articlexyz,
abstract="",
author="",
commentfield="",
journal="",
month="",
note="this is some text which I can see in the bibliography list of
the tex file.",
number="",
pages="",
title="",
volume="",
year=""
}

The tex file would contain:

...\cite{articlexyz}...

...\bibliographystyle{plainnat}
\bibliography{bibliography}...

usually, i think, annote is for annotations in your .bib file that
you /don't/ want printed in your output. use, as suggested, the note
field instead. (in biblatex you also get an addendum field.)

cheers,
jon.
