Bibliography with abstracts in LaTeX

If you ever have written a scientific paper, you probably know how hard it is to remember what was in the papers you cited. Usually you cite them once and forget about them, but if you want to discuss your paper with other scientist, it would be nice to have at least an idea of what you exactly cited.

The problem is that I want to have the title of the author, year and the title of the paper (who remembers something like Arrow 1955?), so I looked for a way to print the paper titles.
