% if you're "stapling" together papers, it's easy to include your paper
% directory by way of symlinks, or copying the entire paper as a
% subdirectory.
%
% for example, if your paper directory looks like the following:
%
%   foobar/          - top level paper directory
%   foobar/fig/      - where all graphics and figures live
%   foobar/paper.bib - bibliography
%   foobar/paper.tex - monolithic .tex file for paper
%
% then you might use the folloiwng:
%
%   \graphicspath{foobar/fig}
%   \addbibresource{foobar/paper.bib}
%   \input{foobar/paper.tex}
%
% note that you'll have to modify the input file to make sure that the
% preamble (\documentclass, etc.) isn't included. to make your life
% easier, you could use some TeX conditionals to make it seamless.
%
% this requires some planning, but enables you to edit the individual
% paper and thesis chapter without tracking and porting changes between
% multiple directories and repositories:
%
% for example, at the beginning of foobar/paper.tex (before
% \documentclass):
%
%   \newif\ifdissertation
%   \dissertationtrue      % (or \dissertationfalse for the standalone)
%
%   \ifdissertation
%   \else
%   \documentclass...
%   \fi
%
%   \ifdissertation
%   \else
%   \begin{document}

%%% bibliography %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%
%  \printbibliography in biblatex is great, but doesn't allow for the
%  greatest customization, so we'll use the package biblatex + biber
%  backend to meet some requirements:
%
%  * bibliography should be an un-numbered chapter, and still have a
%    pdfbookmark and a line in the table of contents
%
%  * bibliography contents should be singlespace, and optionally a smaller
%    font
%
%  * first line of this "chapter" should be in the same spot as the first
%    line of preface sections (e.g., acknowledgement)
%
%  * we use \raggedright so things like URLs and DOIs aren't stretched out.
