Text Formatting ⇒ References - One column title in two cols list?

[miceleee]

Hi there,

thanks again for hosting me here.

I was trying to have the chapter 'References' spanning the whole page as a normal chapter in the document. However, I want the list of references in two columns.
With my actual configuration, chapter name (references) is printed in only one of the 2 columns.
Thanks for any suggestion.
M


\documentclass[a4paper, twoside,12pt]{memoir}%
\chapterstyle{ell} %
%other packages
\usepackage{multicol}
\begin{document}
\chapter{introduction}
\chapter{Results}
\newpage
\begin{multicols}{2}
\begin{small}
\bibliographystyle{unsrt}
\renewcommand{\bibname}{References}
\bibliography{library}
\end{small}
\end{multicols}

\end{document}

Try something like this:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper, twoside,12pt]{memoir}%
\chapterstyle{ell} %
%other packages
\usepackage{multicol}

\renewcommand{\bibname}{References}
\renewenvironment{thebibliography}[1]{%
    \bibsection
    \begin{multicols}{2}
    \begin{small}
    \begin{bibitemlist}{#1}}%
{\end{bibitemlist}%
    \end{small}
    \end{multicols}\postbibhook}

\begin{document}
\chapter{introduction}
\chapter{Results}
\newpage
\bibliographystyle{unsrt}
\bibliography{library}
\end{document}

Brilliant!!! It worked smoothly.

I just empirically added again the string \renewcommand{\bibname}{References}, since references section was named and indexed as 'bibliography', instead of 'references'.
Thanks very much for your help and quick reply.
Best,

Working code for me was:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper, twoside,12pt]{memoir}%
\chapterstyle{ell} %
%other packages
\usepackage{multicol}

\renewcommand{\bibname}{References}
\renewenvironment{thebibliography}[1]{%
    \bibsection
    \begin{multicols}{2}
    \begin{small}
    \begin{bibitemlist}{#1}}%
{\end{bibitemlist}%
    \end{small}
    \end{multicols}\postbibhook}

\begin{document}
\chapter{introduction}
\chapter{Results}
\newpage
\bibliographystyle{unsrt}
\renewcommand{\bibname}{References}
\bibliography{library}
\end{document}
