Hi,

I've got different bibliographic sources to include. All are in a .bib
file, and I use traditional commands to cite these sources.

The problem is that I need to use more than one column to display all
these different items, and, as a result, I would like the number of
columns to be automatically scaled up to a factor depending on the
number of bibliographic entries.

Another possibility would be to create new \frames (i.e. `slides') so
that new bibliographic items can be put continuously too.

Any idea?

Thanks.

Hi,

maybe I didn't get your point, but it seems rather easy to me using 
biblatex.

Columns? Do you want to use tabulars or similar for printing your bib?? 
I disadvise...

What do you mean with "different items"? Books, articles, reports etc.? 
Do you want to list them separately? Then do it like in the first two 
frames of my example[1].

Then take a look at the third frame of my example[1]. Setting 
\bibitemsep is only for a better effect of allowframebreaks.

I wanted to say that I had already used the multicol package.

Thanks. This is exactly what I was looking for. Nice.

You could also take a look at the beamer doc searching for 
"bibliography", especially at page 36

<quote>
- Do not use the option allowframebreaks except for long bibliographies.
- Do not use long bibliographies.
</quote>

and pages 60/61 for breaking frames.
