Re: bibliographies



In other words, it sounds as though I could do this, but there would be little point in doing it until the last minute. In the meantime, I would be preparing by keywording the sources. (Of course, there's also the issue of all those texts that I don't expect to cite but have read and need to have included, which I have been gradually sticking in and would evidently have to redo.)

I'm a little surprised not to find an easier method, as it's pretty common to divide up bibliographies according to theme or type of source. It seems as though the subject bibliography function ought to do this, but to do it properly, one would need to be able to choose which subjects one wanted to use. When I tried that, it seemed to use all of them, and multiple times.

Thanks!

I think what you need to do is first NOT generate a reference list for the
document, then have Ibidem display the "works cited in the current
document" instead of the whole database, then manually click on primary
(or secondary) sources in the record list, and then make two subsets, one
of the checked and one of the unchecked items. Generate your
bibliographies from those and paste them into your document.
(if you have a keyword that distinguishes them, of course, you can use to
create the subset lists instead of checking them one at at time). The
disadvantage, obviously, is that you have to manually update them and
recreate the bibliographies if you add or drop a reference.
