Bibliography is a list at the end of the project/report/whatever you're doing which consists of reference you used including books, websites etc.

cameron, you mean a biography, not a bibliography. a bibliography is a list of all the media you used as reference for an academic work, positioned at the end of the finished product and formatted according to the rules of academic writing. for instance, if you've used, say, the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy for your work, the bibliography entry would look like this:
adams, douglas: the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy, pan books, london 1979.
or whichever edition you've used. the idea is basically that whoever reads your work can read the reference works too and will find the passages you are referring to without hassle, which is why you also have to annotate any secondary references on the page they are on, as a footer. so, if you quote a passage from page 27 of hitchhiker's on page 26, page 26 will have this annotation at the bottom:
adams, douglas: the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy, london 1979, pg. 27.
if you use the same text again, you can go more sloppy with the annotations the following times, just state the title and the page you found the quote on:
hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy, pg. 59
bibliographies are seperated by media and in alphabetical order of author. slightly different citation rules apply for articles, audiovisual media, software and the net. you can look all those up in your library.
good luck!

A bibliography is a list of references you have consulted for your research. Strictly speaking, it includes everything you've looked at, as opposed to a "Reference List" which only lists those you've actually quoted from. But in practice, bibliography is used for reference list and sources consulted but not quoted aren't listed.
Cameron is wrong. What she is referring to is an auto-biography.

cameron b - a book about your life is an autobiography (written by you) and a biography (written by someone else). The other two answers are correct.

a written work of YOUR life written by you. or someone elses written by themselves
the above person is referring to a "works cited"
