What is the difference between a Bibliography and a list of Reference?

A Bibliography is in exactly the same format as a list of Reference. The difference is that a list of Reference has only those sources you have quoted from, paraphrased or summarised an idea, within your essay/report/piece of writing. On the other hand a Bibliography will include everything you have read, even if you have not referred to the source in the text. For example, if I was studying ergonomics for the first time, I might find and read a book or website that could give me some basic info and background on the whole subject. But I do not use this source within my essay, because I have absorbed the basics and go on to build on this through reading the recommended texts for the assignment. It is rare for an assignment to require both; usually only a list of references is asked for. Check with the lecturer to be absolutely sure, or post a query on the Subject Forum.
