I do have some \cite commands in my document, and all of my citations in BibDesk are generating the appropriate Tex preview.  What I'm not doing is running BibTex separate from my LaTeX file.  How do I do this? Do I simply have to open the bib file and typeset it?

When I try to run the BibTex file in my LaTeX file using the \bibliography{bib file name} command, my references do not show up.  Any idea what might be going on here? I've tried re-running the LaTeX file several times to make sure the BibTex file is compiling properly.
