[OS X TeX] BibTeX Can't Find Style that pdfTeX can

[Michael Hanson]

	I have found that placing .bst files anywhere in 
~/Library/texmf/bibtex/ (i.e. within an arbitrarily named subdirectory 
of this path) allows them to be seen by BibTeX.  However, I notice that 
at least two other list members suggest ~/Library/texmf/bibtex/bst/ for 
.bst files.  Is there any documentation about the "proper" (or "best 
practices") location of files in the texmf hierarchy?  I scoured CTAN 
and a few LaTeX books (many months back) without success.  I must agree 
with Gerben's comment at the beginning of README.howtexfindsfiles:  
"TeX's way of finding files is quite rich and complicated and at certain 
times counterintuitive."  This is certainly the case for those of us 
switching from an OS 9 TeX environment (OzTeX in my case), that was much 
less, well, particular about the location of files.  Is any practical 
file organization overview available for those of us forced by OS X to 
become our own sysadmins?  TIA!
