I'm trying to produce booklists in a catalogue type format, and have a
few queries:

1 - how do you specify multiple retrieval keys for entries?  i.e. given
a file of numerous entries similar to this one:

@BOOK{roberts-1:mam,
title = "The Mammals of South Africa",
author = "Austin Roberts",
address = "Johannesburg",
publisher = "CNA",
year = 1951,
edition = "Subscribers",
note = "Good condition",
}

I'd like to be able to use the same bib file to store everything, but
be able to retrieve and display the entry in categories such as, say
"birds", "mammals", "africana" or "roberts".  At present I'm splitting
the entries into separate bib files manually, and then producing the
lists via a latex \nocite{*} type entry in separate runs.  So, how
would you set up keys for these various categories, and how would you
cite according to the various categories?

2 - in the example above, the display for the bibtex "plain" style would
look something like:

[1] Austin Roberts.....

Is there some method of getting it to display as:

[1] Roberts, Austin.....

instead?

3 - is there some latex/bibtex skeleton for producing a book catalogue
or price list?

4 - any sources of bibtex documentation other than the Latex book and
the "Bibtexing" document (Feb 8, 1988 version) by Oren Patashik?

Thanks in advance.
