BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ Biblatex - citations in footnote and sometimes at the end

[Drounal]

Hey all,

After successfully switching from natbib to biblatex, I managed to have my citations in footnote and that works amazingly well!

Now, here's the new problem I haven't been able to solve.

In my bib file, there are major books and articles that I've read and want to see appear in the end bibliography and, when specified, in footnote (where I like to see the entire reference). But there are those "minor" articles that I quote, which should be in footnote but NOT in the end bibliography (preventing me from using my usual favourite \nocite*{} command).

Any idea on how to say which references should be in the end bibliography, regardless of whether or not they were cited in the document? Mutliple bibliographies mayhaps?

Thanks in advance!

Ok, I've been thinking. Maybe there's a way to add a field to all bib entries. In that field, 1 would indicate that the ref is to be printed, 0 that it should not.

Any idea on how to do this? Is that even possible?

I would probably go with section 3.10.4 of biblatex manual. Using keywords field might be an appropriate solution. E.g., you might add keywords=abc in the .bib file for entries you don't won't printed in the bibliography, and then write in your document: \printbibliography[notkeyword=abc] . However, when you're using numeric style, omission of some entries in the bibliography might be problematic.

Fantastic! I guess it's not too far from my second message but I had no clue you could filter before printing. Great! Thanks a lot Meho_r!
