Hi folks - I have been getting a bit confused over the terminology "works
cited" and "bibliography" as it applies to what students attach to the end
of the research papers/projects. I had thought that a works cited list had
to have all the materials that were either parenthetically cited or noted in
the paper and nothing more. To this end, you could go through the list and
say "okay, you used this one here and this one here and so on". I thought a
bibliography was a bit more general and included those and anything that was
consulted although not "cited" in the text or body of the project. But are
the terms interchangeable or are they different? Are there schools that use
separate works cited and works consulted lists? Does anyone know the
difference and can you explain it to me? Any comments would be appreciated.
Thanks!
