beamer bibliography fonts

[Bob Lounsbury]

Does anyone know how to change the size of the fonts in a bibtex
bibliography using the beamer class.

I've changed the look of the bibliography items with
\setbeamertemplate{bibliography item}[text]

but I want to decrease the font size of the bibliography. I've tried
\setbeamerfont{bibliography}{size=\normalsize}
and
\setbeamerfont{bibliography item}{size=\normalsize}

along with may other things and I can't get it to work. I've read the
documentation and it just doesn't state what the available options are
for \setbeamerfont, which makes absolutely no sense to me!! If you
provide documentation saying that the command
\setbeamerfont{item}{options} can be used to modify the font, it is
absolutely useless unless you tell everyone what 'items' and 'options'
can be used.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Bob Lounsbury

Ok, I figured out at least one way of doing this. You can add
'[shrink=5]' to the frame and this will shrink the text by 5%.
