We want to create an online bibliography database for our company
library, so I had a few of questions before getting started:

1)  We would like to use a common format, i.e., one that has
    software written for it for accessing by author, title, keywords,
    etc.  and/or outside bibliography databases available.  The
    only thing that comes to mind is refer/lookbib, but is there
    better?

2)  We want to be able to use the database with LaTeX/BiBTeX, so
    are there refer/lookbib type programs for the BibTeX format,
    or has anyone wrote a refer-to-bibtex converter?

3)  Is there something I'm not considering?

Thanks in advance, Jeff
