bib question

["Thomas A. Schmitz" <thomas.schmitz@uni-bonn.de>]

Hi all,

not really a question about specific code, but I need an idea: I have  
a fairly large bibliographical list which is generated from an even  
larger bibtex database. Now, I want to quote some of the items from  
this list on my slides, but I want to retain the original numbering  
in the list, like so:

the list:

[1] item A

[2] item B

[3] item C

the slide:

[2] item B

[3] item C

Can anyone suggest an approach for this? Or is this impossible with  
bibtex, and I have to typeset the slides manually?

Thanks, and best

Thomas
