The easiest way to do this is to do a finder search for something that you know you have a record for, and then when it comes up as a search result, choose Quicklook at the method of viewing the results, and you'll get a little note card with some basic bib info on it. If you download the latest release of BD, you should have the Quicklook plugin already installed. If you already installed it yourself, you have to remove it; Adam M. already gave instructions for this a few days ago on the list, and I forget how to do it, but it does work, and you have to go back and look there to see what to do. -Adam G. ================================= Adam M.
