 General information on working with BibTeX mode:
 
-Use commands such as \\[bibtex-Book] to get a template for a specific entry.
+Use commands such as \\<bibtex-mode-map>\\[bibtex-Book] to get a template for a specific entry.
 Then fill in all desired fields using \\[bibtex-next-field] to jump from field
 to field.  After having filled in all desired fields in the entry, clean the
 new entry with the command \\[bibtex-clean-entry].
