BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ My own bibliography style

[hardtmuth]

Hi,

I`ve encountered problem with the way how to define my own bib style. Is there some way to do it fast and simple? Classic BibTeX bibliography (plain) doesnt look the way which my teacher would like. He suggested to try something like that:
Author (Name Surname): Title of Book, Year.

Now BiBTeX produces something like that:
Author. Title, year.

I`m in a little rush. Maybe some minor changes in standard plain style file would solve my problem? Copy paste to my project directory new version of bst and viola?

There are some packages that allow you to create a custom bibliography style from bibtex. Check the wikibook. I used one of those but I can't remember which.

Open a terminal and type "latex makebst" and it'll walk you through the process.
