References The terms references and bibliography are used to refer to sources that are consulted for the writing of an assignment, but they have different meanings. The term reference refers to works which are directly cited in the assignment. The term bibliography refers to works which a student has drawn upon to write an assignment whether or not they are directly cited. Thus, a bibliography can be said to include references but not vice versa. Bibliography is sometimes used in a narrower sense to exclude references. Where books have shaped your understanding of a topic, you are urged to acknowledge directly that contribution and to treat them as references. In your written work, tutors will expect you to demonstrate evidence of wide and critical reading. There are various systems of referring to the works which you have read and are quoted in your essays.
