How do you suppress numbering in thebibliography environment?

[happyhessian]

Hello,

I'm trying to write a general bibliography for a report--one that
doesn't have numbers from \cite commands in the texts but just gives a
reading list for background/further inquiry. I can't seem to figure
out how to stop it from printing numbers and the standard reference
sites online don't seem to mention the scenario.

Anyone know what to do?

Thanks in advance,

happy

Try using:

\usepackage{natbib}, into the preamble and

\bibliographystyle{agsm} just before the \bibliography command.

So, use \citet (for contextualized citations) and \citep (for citation between parenthesis) intead of \cite.

Hello,

If you are using BibTeX, than the command \nocite{*} does what you
need:
http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=nocite*

The samle tex file looks like:

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{natbib}
\begin{document}

\nocite{*}

\bibliography{my_bibliography}

\end{document}

Hope this helps,
