REFERENCE: the detailed description of the

demonstrating that you have done that reading.

6. References Vs Bibliography
• The terms „References‟ and „Bibliography‟
are often used synonymously, but there is a
difference in meaning between them.
• References are the items you have read and
specifically referred to (or cited) in your work ,
and your list of sources at the end of the
assignment will be headed „References‟.

7. Bibliography
• Bibliography is a list of everything you read -
whether or not you referred specifically to it .
• Normally contain sources that have been cited
and also those found to be influential, but
decided not to cite.
• A bibliography can give a tutor an overview of
which authors have influenced your ideas and
arguments even if you do not specifically refer
to them.
