Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ JABREF and HYPERLINKS

[svend_tveskaeg]

I haven't tried it out but maybe \href from the hyperref package will do the job.

Indeed, I think it should work to use:

\href{http://somewhere.com/someplace}{\incudegraphics{globe.jpg}}

(In the note field.)

Of course, you'll need to find some globe.jpg that you like.

I guess one alternative might be to use the \Mundus symbol fro the marvosym package. Add \usepackage{marvosym} to your .tex file preamble and then use, e.g.:

\href{http://somewhere.com/someplace}{\Mundus}

again, in the note field.

To reply to the second post below:

When I tried adding \url{} around the contents of the url field, nothing happens. I dont mind going through my whole JABREF file and modifiying it with \url{}. I also dont mind modifying the bibtex file everytime I import something. Given this are there any advantages to choosing a Biblatex?

When you say nothing happens, do you mean no URL shows up at all, or is it not a clickable link? In the former case it is probably just because your bibliography style (i.e. CUEDbiblio - see \bibliographystyle{Classes/CUEDbiblio}) does not support the url field. I just meant that if your bibliography style supports the url field, then you could also use the \url "trick" there.

Regarding Biblatex, I think Biblatex is the future of bibliography typesetting for LaTeX. In my opinion, BibTeX is hopelessly outdated and it is very difficult to customize the appearance of the bibliography. Furthermore, it has no support for unicode text. The latter can to some degree be solved by using BibTeX8. However, Biblatex-generated bibliographies can be customized in almost every way you can imagine and supports a much larger selection of useful data fields for your entries. Biber is a sorting tool written specifically for use with Biblatex. If you don't have it, I recommend at least BibTeX8 as a replacement.
One drawback, however, is that Biblatex does not use BibTeX' .bst style files, so if you are required by your publisher to use a specific style file, you cannot use Biblatex - not unless you take the time to sit down and write a Biblatex style that mimics the BibTeX style. Some style are starting to show up by now, see http://tug.ctan.org/cgi-bin/search.py?m ... h=biblatex.
Good luck,

The template the original poster is using not only comes with its own .bst file for BibTeX, but uses a Makefile that calls BibTeX if need be. I don't know how fussy their university is with regard to formatting bibliographies (--most are pretty fussy--), but I would think that for this project in particular, switching to BibLaTeX is probably not the best option.
