Advice on Subject Bibliography

Greetings all,

I have a process for creating two subject bibliographies that seems a bit clunky to me, so I thought I'd post it here to see if I'm missing something obvious.

I have three basic types of material I'm using: Audio (CDs), Visual (videos), and printed matter. I have three smart groups:

1. type=CD
2. type=AV material
3. type≠CD

I then take these smart groups and drag them into static groups to allow the subject bibliographies to be generated. (I manually remove the AV materials from the printed matter since it's only references.)

The other option I've toyed with is simply generating the bibliographies from the smart groups and cutting and pasting into one document.

Is there another, perhaps easier, methodology I'm missing?

Thanks,
Hussein

Why don't you just select the references you want, then make one subject bibliography based on Type?

Jon,

That was my first attempt at creating a subject bibliography. However, what I'm calling "printed matter" consists of articles, books, book chapters, internet sources, conference proceedings, etc., that then show up as discrete entities.

So you want CD, AV material, and "other"? Then I think using groups is certainly a good way of doing it. But if there are only three subjects, then doing each one separately works, too. It's pretty easy.

Thanks Jon. Like I said, just wanted to see if there was something I was missing.

Thanks for all your help in the forums and on support emails.
