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)

A bibliography may be arranged by author, topic or some other scheme. Annotated bibliographies give descriptions about how each source is useful to an author in constructing a paper or argument. These descriptions, usually a few sentences long, provide a summary of the source and describes its relevance. Bibliographies differ from library catalogs by including all relevant publications rather than items actually found in a particular library. However, some national libraries' catalogs also serve as national bibliographies, as they contain (almost) all their countries' publications, or other items that have been published.

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.

Analytical bibliography
The critical study of bibliography is subdivided into descriptive, historical, and textual bibliography. Descriptive bibliography is the close examination of a book as a physical object, recording its size, format, binding, and so on, while historical bibliography takes a broader view of printing and publishing. Textual bibliography is another name for textual criticism.

What is a Bibliography?
Unlike a reference list or works cited page, which is designed to list only those sources that are directly cited in a document, a bibliography is an extensive list of sources you have consulted as you worked on or thought about your document. In addition to identifying the sources you have cited in your paper, it represents the research you've done in preparation for writing, and it offers your audience suggestions for further reading on your topic.

Many college students are not in a position to prepare such an extensive bibliographic list. Instead, they typically use a selected bibliography (a less thorough, more limited set of references), or (to list only those works referred to in the text) a works cited, literature cited, or reference list. You will want to check with your instructor or with publication guidelines to determine what type of list you are expected to include. The bibliography includes all of the bibliographic details your readers need in order to seek out your sources on their own (i.e., to replicate your research).
