The Booklet Entry Type

The booklet entry type is used to refer to a printed work that is not formally published, but is bound together like a book. Examples of booklet entries could include conference proceedings, program guides, or instruction manuals.

The required fields for a booklet entry are:

• title: The title of the booklet.
• author: The author or authors of the booklet.
• howpublished: How the booklet was published.
• address: The address of the publisher or sponsoring institution.
• year: The year the booklet was published.

Optional fields for a booklet entry include:

• editor: The editor or editors of the booklet.
• volume: The volume number of a multi-volume book.
• number: The number of a journal or series.
• series: The name of a series or set of books.
• organization: The organization that published or sponsored the booklet.
• month: The month of publication.
• note: Miscellaneous information.

Here is an example of a booklet entry:

@booklet{example_booklet,
  title        = {Conference Proceedings},
  author       = {Jane Doe and John Smith},
  year         = 2022,
  month        = {July},
  address      = {San Francisco, CA},
  note         = {This is a sample entry for a conference proceedings booklet.},
  howpublished = {Presented at the Annual Conference on Technology},
  editor       = {Bob Johnson}
}

Using the Booklet Entry Type in LaTeX

Once you have created a booklet entry in your BibTeX file, you can reference it in your LaTeX document using the \cite command. For example:

`\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
According to \cite{example_booklet}, the Annual Conference on Technology was a success.
\bibliography{references}
\bibliographystyle{plain}
\end{document}

In this example, the example_booklet entry in the references.bib file is cited using the \cite command. The bibliography is then generated using the plain style.
