Derick--
I agree that the 3-step process to get to BibTex is by far the more annoying
part of the process.
I¹d be happy to send JSTOR a message. What would be a clear way to phrase
the request? They can¹t provide every format from the search page, so how
can we ask them to provide BibTex?
Thanks for the template.
