[Tex/LaTex] Beamer Bibliography Icon

Question

I want to list my references in a beamer presentation using thebibliography environment, with the nice little

• book icon (\beamertemplatebookbibitems) and

• article icon (\beamertemplatearticlebibitems)

in front of each source.

Is there an icon for websites too? something like \beamertemplatewebsitebibitems?
If not, is there a way to implement this easily ?

Answer 1

There's the online option for the bibliography item template; an example showing the predefined options:

\documentclass{beamer}

\begin{document}

\begin{frame}
\begin{thebibliography}{9}
\setbeamertemplate{bibliography item}[online]
\bibitem{A} ItemA
\setbeamertemplate{bibliography item}[book]
\bibitem{B} ItemB
\setbeamertemplate{bibliography item}[article]
\bibitem{C} ItemC
\setbeamertemplate{bibliography item}[triangle]
\bibitem{D} ItemD
\setbeamertemplate{bibliography item}[text]
\bibitem{E} ItemE
\end{thebibliography}
\end{frame}

\end{document}

Of course, you can also use your own image(s):

\documentclass{beamer}

\begin{document}

\begin{frame}
\begin{thebibliography}{9}
\setbeamertemplate{bibliography item}{\includegraphics[width=1.5em]{ctanlion}}
\bibitem{A} CTAN lion drawing by Duane Bibby.
\end{thebibliography}
\end{frame}

\end{document}
