Biblatex - capital names in references, regular in cites

Question

I am trying to achieve a biblatex style that would do the following:

in the case of \parencite{} I would get ...like that (Smith 2010).

in the case of \textcite{} I would get Smith (2010) says that...

but in References I would get SMITH, J. Bookname.

How can I achieve this?

I use \usepackage[style=authoryear, firstinits=true]{biblatex}

I tried \renewcommand*{\mkbibnamelast}[1]{\MakeUppercase{#1}} but that makes the name uppercase even in the text, which is undesirable especially with \textcite{}

Answer 1

You need to change the macro just for the bibliography and biblatex provides a hook to do this in the form of \AtBeginBibliography:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[style=authoryear, firstinits=true]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{biblatex-examples.bib}
\AtBeginBibliography{\renewcommand*{\mkbibnamelast}[1]{\MakeUppercase{#1}}}

\begin{document}
Here is some text \parencite{angenendt}. Note that \textcite{angenendt} mentions something.

\printbibliography
\end{document}

This produces:

---

EDIT

Current versions of biblatex have a slightly different naming scheme, for them the code should be:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[style=authoryear, giveninits=true]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{biblatex-examples.bib}
\AtBeginBibliography{\renewcommand*{\mkbibnamefamily}[1]{\MakeUppercase{#1}}}

\begin{document}
Here is some text \parencite{angenendt}. Note that \textcite{angenendt} mentions something.

\printbibliography
\end{document}
