I've always used natbib (the package to customize references inside  
your text) with makebst (the program to make your own style for your  
bibliography); read their documentation ---they should be in your  
distribution. makebst is not as hard to use as it seems ---basically,  
you run it with

latex makebst

in a terminal and answer a bunch of questions. The worst that can  
happen is that you make a mistake and have to start all over again.

Now ---there is biblatex:

I haven't tried yet, but seems really good.

Best,
