two bibliographies
In my document I need to have two bibliographies.
One with documents I am quoting from (this is not a problem because of the \cite and \bibliography commands)
Furthermore I need a bibliography of documents I only read in. And here I don't know how to do this with BibTeX.
Can you help me?
NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.
And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

a thousand worlds for you to see here, take my hand and follow me...

Have you tried biblatex?
Some argue that biblatex is the future of LaTeX bibliography management. It still uses BibTeX to do some of the work, but BibTeX doesn't actually generate the BBL. Instead, the BBL is generated by LaTeX via macros from biblatex.
One of the nice things about biblatex is that you can have multiple bibliographies with entries that are selected BY A FILTER. That is, you can add a keyword to certain entries (e.g., "vita") and have a bibliography that only prints those entries. You'd also tag the ones you were using in your main document and have a bibliography that only prints those tags.
Now, because the BRF file still needs to be generated, you'll probably have to do a \nocite{*] somewhere to dump your BIB into the BRF. This means you'll probably have to use JabRef (or any other good BIB manager) to look at your AUX file and generate a BIB pruned of entries that you don't use.
Another idea...
You could experiment with bibentry, which is a part of the natbib package. You'll have to manually generate a \bibentry for each line you want in your dummy bibliography, but it'll still pull the information from the file.
And then, as already mentioned, you could try using some of the many multibib-type packages. These usually require you to split your document up into multiple files that have their own AUX files and generate their own BRF files (i.e., you'll probably need to use include rather than input)). Then you can give each of them their own bibliography, like a bibliography at the end of a chapter.
Just some thoughts...
