[NTG-context] Multiple bibliographies (bib-module, mkiv)
Dear all, I am searching for a solution where I can use two different sources of bib files separately. I found that the same question was asked before at this mail list. Since it was few years old, could I ask if there is any new work done towards it? Thanks! Peng http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2010/048290.html Hello, I need two bibliographies for my document, »Primary sources« and »Secondary sources«. Two bibliographies was created and loaded with \setupbibtex[database={prim,sec}]. But for the last step in my intention I’m looking for something to the effect that \placepublications[database=prim] or in a similar manner to \nocite{*} for every bib-database. Is there any solution or workaround?

Peng http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2010/048290.html Hello Peng, For a Bibliography with separate sections you can use the following work-around: Suppose you want a section primary sources, for which you have the bibfile, say, ps.bib, and a section secundary sources, for which have the bibfile ss.bib. The first step is tro to make for each of them a .bbl-file with, what I would call, a bbl-generator.tex: \setupbibtex[database=ps.bib,sort=author] %\setupbibtex[database=ss.bib,sort=author] \setuppublications[alternative=apa] %or any other style \starttext \stoptext ++ This can be processed with mkii or mkiv. It generates a lot of auxiliary files, including an empty pdf, but the only important one is bbl-generator.bbl, which you rename to ps.bbl or ss.bbl according to which of the two bib-files you used.(= did not comment out) The other files you need are two .tex-files with the complete set of \nocite[]'s of the two databases. Personally I never used \nocite{*}. If you use a Mac with BibDesk it is quite easy to make such a file. It gives you some extra flexibility. You can then generate the sectioned bibliography with: ++ \input(Your setups, including those for your Bibliography setup) \starttext \startchapter[bookmark=,label=,list=,marking=,reference=Bibliography,title={Bibliography} \section{Primary sources} \input ps.bbl \input ps-nocite.tex \placepublications[criterium=cite] \section{Secundary sources} \input ss.bbl \input ss-nocite.tex \placepublications[criterium=cite] \stopchapter \stoptext +++ That's all.

I'd suggest you'd give the librarian module a try that was announced to this list by Aditya earlier. If you have the time I recommend waiting for a solution by Taco. Else if neither librarian nor waiting are an option for you, you might want to have a look at this: http://i40.tinypic.com/debiaf.jpg it is using a “keyword” field to typeset multible bibliographies by keywords so your problem could be solved by a short sed script and cat. Various citation modes are already implemented as well as support for all publication types that I need myself -- i.e. book, article and inbook. Everything is done in lua (the bibtex.load() function be praised) so no struggling with bibtex anymore. As I was used to biblatex I mainly imitated its approach to things like crossref'ing and the “address” field. This is by no means ready for release so please mail me off-list if you're interested, maybe I could extend it to fit your needs.

I would like to produce a separate list for each lecture / topic: Title of Lecture paragraph giving a synopsis of topic list of books/articles and this repeated for x number of lectures.

Dear all (and esp. Taco), in March 2005, there was a discussion about having multiple bibliographies in one document, very much like with the LaTeX package chapterbib.

Maybe a bit of background, and please tell me if you think this is a stupid idea: every term, I have to prepare lists of references for my several classes, and there usually is a lot of repetition and overlap.

One [1] myfirst publication [2] mysecond publication B. Two [3] mythird publication [4] myfourth publication Is this reasonable? feasible? Or should I just use the old approach and copy/paste the same references into \itemize lists? Help and opinions appreciated!
