"No instrument more effective for the fragmentation of thought could be devised, indeed, than the catalogue arranged upon the alphabetical principle, and, after all, one of the services of bibliography is the organizing of thought for the purpose of synthesis."

--Wroth, Lawrence C. "Early Americana," in Standards of Bibliogrpahical Description, Ed. Curt F. Buhler, et al, Westport, Conn.: Greenwood, 1949. [emphasis added]

Think about ways to organize your bibliography:
