Hanging Indent For Bibliography

[aadriance]

The initial edit pass of my thesis requested that I add hanging indents to the bibliography. After some searching I was able to fix it using:

\def\bibindent{1em}
\begin{thebibliography}{99\kern\bibindent}
\makeatletter
\let\old@biblabel\@biblabel
\def\@biblabel#1{\old@biblabel{#1}\kern\bibindent}
\let\old@bibitem\bibitem
\def\bibitem#1{\old@bibitem{#1}\leavevmode\kern-\bibindent}
\makeatother

\bibliography{bibliography}
\end{thebibliography}

Is there a better way to do this? If not I can make an edit to the main.tex once I know my hanging indents pass the final editorial inspection.

My attitude with LaTeX has always been "if it works it works." Feel free to submit a PR after inspection and I'll merge it in.
