You can separate primary sources from secondary <strong>and</strong> tertiaryones, as in a single-author bibliography.By the field <strong>of</strong> sources. You can group sources by field, either because your readers willhave different interests (as in the bibliography to this book) or because you mix work fromfields not usually combined. For example, a work on the theory <strong>and</strong> psychology <strong>of</strong> comicliterature might categorize sources: Theory <strong>of</strong> Comedy, Psychological Studies, LiteraryCriticism, Comic Works.If you categorize sources, present them either in separate bibliographies or a single onedivided into sections. Introduce each separate bibliography or section with a subheading <strong>and</strong>,if necessary, a headnote. In a single bibliography, use the same principle <strong>of</strong> order within eachsection (usually alphabetical), <strong>and</strong> do not list a source in more than one section unless itclearly could be categorized in two or more ways. If you use different principles <strong>of</strong> order,create separate bibliographies, each with its own explanatory heading.16.2.3 Sources That May Be OmittedBy convention, you may omit the following types <strong>of</strong> sources from a bibliography:newspaper articles (see 17.4)classical, medieval, <strong>and</strong> early English literary works (17.5.1) <strong>and</strong> (in some cases) wellknownEnglish-language plays (17.8.7)the Bible <strong>and</strong> other sacred works (17.5.2)well-known reference works, such as major dictionaries <strong>and</strong> encyclopedias (17.5.3)brief published items, such as reviews <strong>of</strong> published works or per<strong>for</strong>mances (17.5.4),abstracts (17.5.5), <strong>and</strong> pamphlets <strong>and</strong> reports (17.5.6)unpublished interviews <strong>and</strong> personal communications (17.6.3), Weblog entries <strong>and</strong>comments (17.7.2), <strong>and</strong> postings to electronic mailing lists (17.7.3)individual documents in unpublished manuscript collections (17.6.4)many sources in the visual <strong>and</strong> per<strong>for</strong>ming arts, including artworks <strong>and</strong> other visualsources (17.8.1), live per<strong>for</strong>mances (17.8.2), <strong>and</strong> television <strong>and</strong> other broadcast programs(17.8.3)the U.S. Constitution (17.9.5), legal cases (17.9.7), <strong>and</strong> some other public documents(17.9)
