Subject Bibliographies and Subject Lists
Overview of Subject Bibliographies
A general bibliography is a continuous listing of citations in a particular order. A subject bibliography is made up of smaller listings, each appearing under a distinct heading. Despite the name, a subject bibliography (or a subject list) can be based on any EndNote field or combination of fields.
An example of a subject bibliography might look something like this.

Subject bibliographies have diverse uses, including: generating lists of journal abstracts, current awareness lists, subject indexes, or lists of holdings by category. Typical subject bibliography headings are by Keyword, Author, Journal Title, or Call Number.
You can print entire bibliographic citations, information from one or more fields, record IDs, or nothing at all under each heading.
When creating a subject bibliography, you have a large set of options to choose from. Below is a chart summarizing the steps and options available. This section will break these options down to help you understand the power available to you with this feature.
