BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ Citing author and bookname in the text.

[jocom]

Hi,

Im tangled in a rather weird situation. Every university etc... uses numerical or authoryear citation styles. Now my university decided they wanted 'authorbook'.
If browsed the interwebs for packages that support this citation style but could not find one.
So what I actually want is:

Some random text.\footnote{The author, His book, 34.}

to cite page 34 for of His book written by The author. Obviously I can fix the footnote. But how do I provide the content for the footnote from a .bib file?

So actually I just want authorbook instead of authoryear. Does anyone know a solution?

Thanks in advance,
jocom

Using natbib, you could change your .bst file to output something like \bibitem[Author(year)Title]{key} ..., and then use \citeauthor* to get the title, I guess.

Sounds like "authortitle" to me: take a look at biblatex.

That seems indeed to be exactly what I need. Thanks a lot.

P.S. Sorry for the confusing "authorbook"; "authortitle" is better indeed.
