This depends on the outcome one is looking for by sharing this content. 
Publishing a bibliography is not an optimized way of putting this content 
out there.  Bibliographies are out of date rapidly as new books and 
articles emerge.  In this age when academic libraries have hundreds of 
databases, the motivation to purchase bibliographies is limited, so they 
are unlikely to be a money making resource.  Print books cannot be 
updated, unless one publishes new editions and these need to be spread 
over time.

.

On the other hand one can publish annual collections of publications on a 
topic covered in a bibliography on a website, as a blog post or as a post 
to a discussion group each time and have an index to each years edition on 
a website.  Google Sites are free to users and websites can have many 
pages and only require ownership of a Gmail account as the login for 
access to Google Sites.  One can arrange the website alphabetically with 
different web pages for each letter or for groups of letters of the 
alphabet.  One could also arrange these by years.

.

One can back up this content on Blogs and/or discussion groups.  Wordpress 
blogs, Google Sites, and Groups.IO discussion group posts can all be 
edited so one can add content whenever one wishes to update.  I cannot 
remember the last time I purchased a bibliography for the library 
collection where I work.  Also, in my collection development work, book 
purchases are overwhelmingly for print books.  In my subject fields, about 
ten percent of the books I view citations for are available online and of 
those five percent are anywhere from double the price of the paperback 
edition to four or five or six or more times the price of the paperback.
In print books, one does not have a search engine box for content within 
the book to view the occurances within the book of words and phrases, so 
those wishing citations on a very specific topic may have a large task to 
find such content within a book unless the author has done an exceptional 
job of organizing and indexing that content.

.

Consider these links to this set of search terms

.

("DRUG ABUSE" OR "DRUG DEPENDENCE" OR "DRUG ADDICTION" OR "SUBSTANCE 
ADDICTION" OR "SUBSTANCE ABUSE") AND ("MENTAL ILLNESS" OR "MENTALLY ILL" 
OR "PSYCHOLOGICAL DISORDERS") AND (BIBLIOGRAPHY OR "LITERATURE REVIEW" OR 
"REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE")

I changed the search topic to one that with concrete terms will give one 
an understanding of the competition one will find, much of it free, in 
published bibliographies on a core topic in the area of disabilities. This 
does not include the results one will see when they devise their own 
search strategy in the relevant database choices one has from the hundreds 
of these tools one finds at university libraries.
