Add a hyperlink in bibtex

Question

It's cool to add a hyperlink in references like this:

I want to know how to add the blue box in bibtex. For example, the following article's link is "ee".

@inproceedings{DBLP:conf/osdi/DeanG04,
author    = {Jeffrey Dean and
           Sanjay Ghemawat},
title     = {MapReduce: Simplified Data Processing on Large Clusters},
booktitle = {OSDI},
year      = {2004},
ee        = {http://www.usenix.org/events/osdi04/tech/dean.html},
crossref  = {DBLP:conf/osdi/2004},
bibsource = {DBLP, http://dblp.uni-trier.de}
}

Answer 1

Loading the hyperref package and using

url        = {http://www.usenix.org/events/osdi04/tech/dean.html},

gives a clickable url in your bibliography.

alternatively you can use

             note        = {\href{http://www.usenix.org/events/osdi04/tech/dean.html}{my text for the link which can break across lines}},

which gives a link which has different text from the link. I agree with @Mico- this is probably a bad idea in general for a variety of different reasons.

             bibsource = {DBLP, http://dblp.uni-trier.de}
             }
\end{filecontents}

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[backend=bibtex]{biblatex}   % bibliography
\usepackage{hyperref}

% bibliography
\bibliography{mybib}
\begin{document}

hello world \cite{dblp}

\printbibliography
\end{document}

Answer 2

Thanks for the code of @cmhughe. I rewrite it as follows:

@inproceedings{DBLP:conf/osdi/DeanG04,
author    = {Jeffrey Dean and
           Sanjay Ghemawat},
title     = {\href{http://www.usenix.org/events/osdi04/tech/dean.html}{MapReduce: Simplified Data Processing on Large Clusters}},
booktitle = {OSDI},
year      = {2004},
ee        = {http://www.usenix.org/events/osdi04/tech/dean.html},
crossref  = {DBLP:conf/osdi/2004},
bibsource = {DBLP, http://dblp.uni-trier.de}

In this way, the hyperlink effect can be achieved.
