I'm using the memoir class and have my document structured by parts which means that the "Bibliography" entry in the Table of Contents are not showing correctly (I guess that it is shown as a chapter instead of as a part).

I see two solutions:

  1. Remove the entry from the ToC and add a custom entry like


  2. Change the way the entry is shown by default

Does anyone know about a solution to this?

What a very nice fix! The only thin is that the Bibliography gets its own part page, but the page doesn't say "Part XX Bibliography". Is it possible to somehow make that happen? Otherwise I would like that the Bibliography header is on the same page as the references - like default. Thanks a lot! –  thilemann Oct 7 '12 at 13:18
@thilemann sure! Change \part*{\bibname} to \part{\bibname} in the redefinition of \bibsection. –  Gonzalo Medina Oct 7 '12 at 14:43
