I'm writing a report and I want to cite all my references. When I looked in wikipedia, I found that they split "bibliography" and "references" into two columns. What are their differences?

I hope my answer will help you clear the air.

Bibliography is a listing of all of the books and media you used in your paper as far as what you quoted directly from in your paper.

Reference is what you used to garner all of the information you used on your paper.

A bibliography is a listing of each reference article, website, or audio or video recording that you quoted or cited in your report. Though the following website is meant for younger students, the information is accurate for writing a bibliography with detailed instructions.

Hope this helps you.

I think a reference can be anything like if you asked your grandfather about something or something you saw on a tv program and bibliography is when you reference a book.

Bibliography is books - from the latin word for book
References can be any other form of media...its stuff you "refered to"

References are what you put in your biliography

Bibliography is just the name of where you put the references like Index is just the name where you can put your indexes in.
