+<para>Maintaining bibliography entries across a set of documents is tedious, time
+consuming, and error prone. It makes much more sense, usually, to store all of
+the bibliography entries in a single place and simply <quote>extract</quote>
+the ones you need in each document.</para>
+
+<para>That's the purpose of the
+<parameter>bibliography.collection</parameter> parameter. To setup a global
+bibliography <quote>database</quote>, follow these steps:</para>
+
+<para>First, create a stand-alone bibliography document that contains all of
+the documents that you wish to reference. Make sure that each bibliography
+entry (whether you use <sgmltag>biblioentry</sgmltag> or <sgmltag>bibliomixed</sgmltag>)
+has an ID.</para>
+
+<para>My global bibliography, <filename>~/bibliography.xml</filename> begins
+like this:</para>

+
+<para>When you create a bibliography in your document, simply
+provide <emphasis>empty</emphasis> <sgmltag>bibliomixed</sgmltag>
+entries for each document that you wish to cite. Make sure that these
+elements have the same ID as the corresponding <quote>real</quote>
+entry in your global bibliography.</para>
+
+<para>For example:</para>

+
+<para>Note that it's perfectly acceptable to mix entries from your
+global bibliography with <quote>normal</quote> entries. You can use
+<sgmltag>xref</sgmltag> or other elements to cross-reference your
+bibliography entries in exactly the same way you do now.</para>
+
+<para>Finally, when you are ready to format your document, simply set the
+<parameter>bibliography.collection</parameter> parameter (in either a
+customization layer or directly through your processor's interface) to
+point to your global bibliography.</para>
+
+<para>The stylesheets will format the bibliography in your document as if
+all of the entries referenced appeared there literally.</para>
