Hi Thomas,

thanks for answering.

I more or less got the smallcaps part, the problem is the following:

I use jurabib and know the \citefield{shorttitle} command, the problem 
is I really want this automatized. We're talking about 200+ pages 
document here, and having this done automatically would be extremely 
cool.

I also got the bibliography entry working more or less after hacking 
jurabib.bst
