It seems unlikely that the palm can do it. It's easy from within BibDesk, though. When you have an Internet connection, choose the search you want from the "Searches" menu. Library of Congress and Pubmed are built in. You can add more using that menu too. You can usually find what you want just by entering the author's name (last name first) or some words from the title (starting with the start of the title, dropping "the" and the like). Look at the help file in BD for more on this. Really, it's pretty easy. Library of Congress has a vast number of books so probably they have the one in your library. Just write down the title or the author and then look it up when you get to your computer and boom, you have the full citation. -Adam -- Dr. Adam M.
