Just use BibTeX, and all will be provided. That is a description, as
far as I can see, of the standard bibliography environment -
typically generated with BibTeX. May I suggest you investigate the
use of BibDesk to manage your databases?

Others are in a better position to comment on this, but I've used
bibtex with Memoir to great success.
This effectively produces the following sequence of commands, puts
them in a file and inputs the file:
\begin{thebibliography}{100}
\bibitem{farman1985b}
J.~C. Farman, B.~G. Gardiner and J.~D. Shanklin, \enquote{Large
losses of total
ozone in antarctica reveal seasonal {$\mathrm{ClO}_x$/$\mathrm{NO}
_x$}
interaction}. \emph{Nature} \textbf{315}, 207--210 (1985).
. . .
\end{thebibliography}
There are some packages that interact with Memoir to put
bibliographies in sections, chapterbib is explicitly mentioned, and
natbib with teh sectionbib option does the same. By default things
should end up in a separate chapter though.
