What is the difference between a reference list and a bibliography?
You need to produce a reference list at the end of your assessment which shows all the sources that you have referred to in your assessment. It should be in the style that has been recommended by your tutors. In comparison a bibliography lists all the reading that you have undertaken prior to your writing of your assessment. Usually your tutors will ask you for a reference list but if you are unsure, check this with your tutor.
A reference list includes all the sources of information that have been cited in a piece of work and is located at the end of the piece of work.A bibliography includes all the sources used in the preparation of a piece of work – not just those that have been cited in the text of the work and included in a reference list. The bibliography is located at the end of the piece of work.
