Question

=)

Answer 1

1. a complete or selective list of works compiled upon some common principle, as authorship, subject, place of publication, or printer.

2. a list of source materials that are used or consulted in the preparation of a work or that are referred to in the text.

3. a branch of library science dealing with the history, physical description, comparison, and classification of books and other works.

Bibliography (from Greek: βιβλιογραφία, bibliographia; lit. book writing) in its most general sense is the study and description of books.

It can be divided into enumerative or systematic bibliography, which results in an overview of publications in a particular category, and analytical or critical bibliography, which studies the production of books. Bibliographical works are almost always considered tertiary sources.

Answer 2

A bibliography is a list, either indicative or comprehensive, of works:

author
subject
published in a specified period
mentioned in, or relevant to, a particular work (a bibliography of this type, sometimes called a reference list should normally appear at the end of any paper in scientific literature)

Answer 3

A bibliography, as opposed to a reference list, is a complete list of all sources you used to write your essay, if you quoted them or not. A reference list just has quoted sources.

Answer 4

It's a list of books relevant to the material you are reading.

Answer 5

(From a dictionary)- a list of writings on a given subject or by a given author, or of those used by the author of a given work. (This is from Webster's New Dictionary and Thesaurus).
