What I would like to do is package these functions as a minor

I assume that from there I do something like:
(define-prefix-command my-mode-map)
or something similar.
But from there, I don't see what to do. Do I have to modify my
.emacs to get the binding correct? Can't I do it in the minor
mode file?
Put something like that in your mode file:
(defvar YOUR-mode-map
(let ((map (make-sparse-keymap)))
(define-key map "YOURKEYS" 'YOURFUN)
...
map)
"Keymap for YOUR-mode.")
(define-YOUR-mode
"MY mode DOESSOMETHING.
Basic Commands
===== ========
\\[YOURFUN]\tDOESSOMETHING.
...
"
:lighter "THISSHALLFILLMYENTIREMODELINETOSHOWMYMODEISON"
:keymap YOUR-mode-map)
<----
Replace the uppercase parts ;-)
Let me be a little more clear about what I am trying to accomplish.
I understand how to create a keymap and how to use define-minor-mode
to create a mode that makes use of my keymap.
What I wanted to do was to assign my keymap to the \C-b key in the
LaTeX-mode-map in AucTeX. Is there a way of doing that in my minor
mode package or do I need to add something to my .emacs to accomplish
this?
This is what I have so far but I haven't found a way of getting
what I am looking for yet.

(defvar bibs-map nil "\

Alternatively, I could (if necessary) put something in my .emacs that
associates bibs-map with the \C-b in LaTeX-mode-map. I just don't know
how to do that.
Also, when I toggle off bibs-mode it should remove the keymap from the
\C-b prefix key in LaTeX-mode-map, right? Again, how do I do that?
