__Terms__
There are several terms that refer to sources and/or how they were used. The most common term is bibliography. However, be sure to use the heading for your citations as directed by your teacher.


 * //Bibliography://** is a listing of citations for books, periodical articles or other materials.


 * //Webliography://** is a list of websites about a subject.


 * //Works Consulted////://** is the term used for the list of sources used in the preparation of a research project. It is used to list background reading, summarized sources, or any sources used for informational purposes but not paraphrased or quoted. It is used to document those sources referred to, but not cited in your project.


 * //Works Cited////://** is the term for the list of sources actually documented (paraphrased or quoted) in your project, generally through parenthetical citation. All of the parenthetical references in the paper or project should lead the reader to this list of sources.


 * __Which heading should I use?__

In general, use the one your teacher requested. If none was specified, you can follow these guidelines:**
 * A student might prepare only a Works Consulted page if he or she did not quote or paraphrase at all in the project.
 * A student might prepare only a Works Cited page if he or she paraphrased or quoted from and therefore cited all sources used.
 * A student might prepare both Works Consulted and Works Cited pages if, in addition to the sources cited in the project or paper, he or she also consulted other sources that were not paraphrased or quoted.
