Biblatex and multiple bibliographies

Monicreque · Post by **Monicreque** » Mon Jul 13, 2009 1:25 pm

Hi all:

I'm writing a text about some artists i've working on. The structure is like a catalog, a lot of chapters, each one with an artist. I want one bibliography at the end of each chapter, but i'm using the bibliography stile verbose-trad2 of biblatex package, because I need to use "Ibid." or "Op. cit." when I repeat a citation.
The problem: i don't know how do that. There is a lot of packages like bibunit or multibib, but I cant do it works.

Someone knows how can i do the multiple bibliographies with the biblatex package?

regards

Antonio

Does chapterbib work? It should; just make sure you have the global and local bibliographies in the right order, then run BibTeX separately on each .aux file.

Yes, biblatex can do everything that older multiple-bibliography packages can do. That is part of the point!

OK. I've reading the biblatex manual and I dont understand how to make the .aux file. I feel stupid…
Can you help me?

Can you post a short working example from your TeX file and database, so that a demo actually makes sense with what you are doing.

Well... Now I have a .bib archive for one bibliography, only one. In LyX I've created a text with Book (KOMA-Script) class. I have the package Biblatex activated with verbose-trad2 style. In my preamble I've wrote this:

Code: Select all

\usepackage[style=verbose-trad2]{biblatex}
\bibliography{/Volumes/MACNUELA/Perifericos/Informe/Informe}
\renewcommand*{\mkibid}{\emph}
\let\myFoot\footnote
\renewcommand{\footnote}[1]{\myFoot{#1\vspace{1.5mm}}}

When I try to use one of the packages recomended in the web of Biblatex it gives an error message. If i put different bibliographies in my text, the output only show one, the first I wrote in the preamble.

At this moment I'm really lost. What can I do?

OK, I have no idea how to create an .aux file in LyX. I have been trying instaling bibtools, but I can't do it. I'm really lost, and can't find a solution anywhere.

¿Can anyone help me? I need to know how to create or localize the .aux file and the process of creating a multiple bibliographis. I know that it is explained in the biblatex manual, but I don't know how create or localice the aux file or how to incorporate different databases of bibliographies.
