Thanks for the explanation, Simon. With looking up some of the terms, I think (!) I roughly understood it. :)
But my bibliography still does not quite work: The «The Not So Short Introduction to LATEX2ε» which I had looked at earlier, simply recommends BibTex without much explanation on Bibliographies. I have downloaded all the stuff recommended by Kirk (http://bibdesk-users.661331.n2.nabble.com/Finding-for-customising-styles-td6655650.html). and written "\usepackage{biblatex}%Dies ist f¸r die Bibliothek \usepackage{csquotes}%für biblatex" in my preamble and "\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Bibliographie}% \bibliography{standard} \bibliographystyle{footnote-dw}" at the end of my document. I have draged and droped one item of my BibDesk Library into my document, which looks like this: "\cite{Lange:1972gx}" When I try to compile, I get the following error: "Package biblatex error: file xxxxx.bbl not created by biblatex" (by the way: how can I copy and paste parts from the yellow error box?) I have also read about a third of the extensive pdf documention for biblatex now, but this does not help me much. All the information about "entry types" and "entry fields" assumes that I can enter information like authors and titles in some fields of a visible program (like EndNote or BibDesk). Where is this surface/program/set of entry fields for biblatex????? You are right, someone to do these first steps with me, would be really helpful. Unfortunately the only friend of mine who has some LaTeX experience is on holidays the next 3 weeks. In October I can probably take a course at the university on LaTeX, but the "deadline" for my first chapter was actually yesterday, so I should figure out the basics soon, since my supervisor and I agree that it makes sense to take the time to format the paper correctly now, instead of beginning it in Word and having to manually edit it later.
