Is it possible to split the bibliography into two different parts using BibTeX type definitions?

Question

I have quite a lot of bibliography entries and I have to separate normal entries (e.g. @book, @article, etc.) from internet entries (@misc) due to formal requirements of my university.

I know it's somehow possible to do this using biblatex:

\chapter*{Bibliography}
\defbibheading{b}{\section{Books}}
\defbibheading{i}{\section{Internet}}
\printbibliography[heading=b,keyword=book]
\printbibliography[heading=i,keyword=internet]

I currently have a document of around 80 pages and I dont want to switch if possible. Are there any known approaches for BibTeX to do this?

Answer 1

If you really don't want to switch to biblatex right now, here's an example how to split the bibliography using the splitbib package. It requires to set up bibliography categories and to assign entries to those categories in the document preamble. (Alternative solutions are bibtopic which requires different .bib files for the different categories and multibib which features category assignment via in-text citations.)

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{url}

\usepackage{splitbib}

\begin{category}{Books}
\SBentries{A01}
\end{category}
\begin{category}{Internet}
\SBentries{B02}
\end{category}

\usepackage{filecontents}

\begin{filecontents}{\jobname.bib}
@misc{A01,
  author = {Author, A.},
  year = {2001},
  title = {Alpha},
}
@online{B02,
  author = {Buthor, B.},
  year = {2002},
  title = {Bravo},
  url = {tex.stackexchange.com},
}
\end{filecontents}

\begin{document}

\nocite{*}

\bibliographystyle{plainurl}
\bibliography{\jobname}

\end{document}
