How do I display the beamer bibliography icons?

Question

I am using and would like to use the bibliography icons as symbols. How do I pick them? It would be sufficient if it were as item icon in a list.

\documentclass{beamer}
\begin{document}
\frame{\titlepage}
\begin{frame}
Print the article bibliography icon here or use it as item bullet in a list.
\end{frame}
\end{document}

Answer 1

Bibliography items are inserted using \pgfuseimage which is a wrapper for \includegraphics. The basic three items used in the bibliography include

• beamericonarticle
• beamericonbook
• beamericononline

To include these in your regular frames, either use \pgfuseimage, or scale the icons as needed with an explicit \includegraphics:

\documentclass{beamer}

\begin{document}

\begin{frame}
Print the article bibliography icon here or use it as item bullet in a list.

\begin{itemize}
  \item Article: \pgfuseimage{beamericonarticle}

  \item Book: \pgfuseimage{beamericonbook}

  \item Online: \pgfuseimage{beamericononline}

  \item[{\includegraphics[scale=.75]{beamericonarticle}}] An article
  
  \item[{\includegraphics[scale=.75]{beamericonbook}}] A book
  
  \item[{\includegraphics[scale=.25]{beamericononline}}] An online reference
\end{itemize}

\end{frame}

\end{document}
