Increased Bibliography Specificity #112

Within the Book Model we are currently able to select a source from the Bibliography model but this does not allow us to specify a page number or item number and thus does not offer the user a precise citation.

We suspect that the change needs to be made in the Book model. Maybe multiple bibliography fields in the book model with an associated space to type in page number or item number?

Bibliography 1 citation: (linked to bibliography model) Bibliography 1 page or item number: (text field)

Bibliography 2 citation: (linked to bibliography model) Bibliography 2 page or item number: (text field)

Etc. up to 10?

After a lengthy discussion we may have landed on a solution - in the Book model where you currently see "Bibliography" you would instead see "Citation" this would allow you to add a "Citation Event" (a new model) - within this model you would select a item from the bibliography model and then add a page number to a field titled "Page number" - Andy suggested that this might not be a great long term solution
