On Linux the following works: export BIBINPUTS=/path/to/dir I thought environment variables worked the same on Mac. I'm not sure what the best way is to have that run everytime. Is there a /etc/environment file on Macs? To test that it works, just do kpsewhich -var-value BIBINPUTS after to see where bibtex will look. Scott
