add text to bibliography

Post by ther »

Is there a package to allow the addition of text to the bibliography? There requirement is to use bibtex in the normal way, but to be able to add a few lines of text between the title 'bibliography' and the first bibliography entry:

Bibliography

Some text...

[1] bibliography item 1

Hi,

there's no need to use a particular package; all you have to do is to redefine the thebibliography environment. If you tell us which document class are you using, we can show you how to do that.

The book class. However, the document is created to produce a main bibliography (which is already formatted correctly) and a second bibliography in the appendix. It is the second bibliography where the requirement is to add text

And exactly how are you producing the two bibliographies? It would be really helpful if you post a skeleton of your document showing the packages and settings used to produce the bibliographies.

add text to bibliography

Post by Britzel »

Hi there,

I stumbled over this topic since I want to do exactly the same: Adding text between the title, and the first bibitem. I couldn't get out the information from the link that was posted here. Can someone please help me how I do that?

I use the AMSbook class. The document is split in three parts, where each one has it's own Bibliography. Here is a sketch on how I have done this for now:

Code: Select all

\part{...}
.
.
\begin{thebibliography}

\part{...}
.
.
\begin{thebibliography}
I also want the title of the Bibliographies to be 'References and further reading'. But this I achieved already with renewing the \bibname command.

Would be glad if someone could help me with this! :)


EDIT: I also use the Hyperref package, and want that the bibliographies appear the right way, and are clickable, in the table of content. (As it is now this works.)

I just found in the natbib.sty a command:

Code: Select all

\let\bibpreamble\@empty
So doesn't \def\bibpreamble{Some text here} do exactly what you want?
