Guilhem, you corrected me on a major point. I had assumed that
biblatex was deprecated by biber and so its manual would be
irrelevant. I see that this is not so.

I didn't understand the syntax here (in Debian, the root directory is
/home, not /Users). My .bib resource in in ~/jabref/ and so I tried:
\addbibresource{/home/haines/jabref/historiography.bib}
\addbibresource{/home/haines/jabref/socsci.bib}
However, this jabref/ location is already in my enviornment:
$ echo $BIBINPUTS
/home/haines/jabref:
So can the \addbibresource command instead simply be:
\addbibresource{historiography.bib}
\addbibresource{socsci.bib}
But my environment problem seems to be much deeper than this. With a
test.tex file that accords (I believe) with the biblatex manual, when
I run the latex command on it I get:
ERROR: LaTeX Error: File `biblatex.sty' not found.

I'm not sure what all this means, but it seems that biblatex needs to
find a biblatex.sty file and failed to do so.
A possible cause of this error is that biblatex is not installed, but
it is installed and I do have the file:
$ locate biblatex.sty
/usr/local/texlive/2011/texmf-dist/tex/latex/biblatex/biblatex.sty
However my environment is:
$ echo $TEXINPUTS
/usr/local/texlive/2011/texmf:
Should I instead have defined the environment to be
/usr/local/texlive/2011/texmf-dist?
