I know next to nothing about the subject, but Googling around Scrivener and bibliography turned up an app called Zotero with some favorable comments. I didn't get any impression of learning curve. My experience with bibliography never went past 3 x 5 cards.
I've wondered what had happened to you. I've missed your smiling face and incisors ... um, your incisive observations.

This blog post talks about using just Scrivener for bibliographies and she's basically in love with it. I've only used Scrivener for NaNo noveling so I'm not familiar with all of its functions but maybe it will have some useful ideas?
Here are some people talking about using Scrivener with Zotero and Bookends bibliography manager programs.

Can we assume the panic isn't about bibloigraphing in general?

We don't have to use any particular format at all, but I think I am going to be using Harvard style, except with the Author Name (date) in footnotes instead of the text. The footnotes are included in the word count, the bibliography is not, so this makes most sense to me.
I've downloaded Zotero but I can't figure out how to use the damn thing. I'm also overwhelmed by the fact that I already have fifty+ references to input. Bookends looked amazing but sadly it's Mac only as far as I can tell, and I'm on a PC.
My conclusion at the moment is that I'll just have to make the bibliography manually (as in, copy the references from the Scrivener index cards for the file into a document and then alphabetise them) which will work, but I was wondering if anyone has any magical ideas about how to make this less soul-destroyingly boring.
(Bob, I'm taking a bit of a break from the QC forum - I still come on most days and lurk a bit but I'm not posting as much at the moment.)

Can you hire someone to do it for you, or to tutor you?
