You can cite your bibliography in the document using 'Insert→citation". There are more bibliography tools, if you are interested to test them out, JabRef, http://jabref.sourceforge.net/ Mendeley, http://www.mendeley.com/ (+document management, closed source). Regarding appendices, see http://www.mail-archive.com/users@global.libreoffice.org/msg14422.html I wonder if there is a document on the LibreOffice Wiki about all these. That is, a document that explains how to use LibreOffice Writer for academic work.
