Reference List
 A reference list lists only the sources you refer
to in your writing.
 The purpose of the reference list is to allow your
sources to be found by your reader. It also gives
credit to authors you have consulted for their
ideas. All references cited in the text must appear
in the reference list, except for personal
communications (such as conversations or emails)
which cannot be retrieved.
 A bibliography is different from a reference list as
it lists all the sources used during your research
and background reading, not just the ones you
refer to in your writing.
