Making a ‘Works Cited’  http://www.crlsresearchguide.org/19_making_works_cited.asp  “A bibliography is a list of related reading material that your reader can look for if they want to do more reading on your topic. A Works Cited is a list of only those sources from which you used borrowed material in your project, and which you cited with parenthetical documentation within your project. It is a fine difference.”

The Columbia Guide to Online Sources (CGOS) http://www.columbia.edu/cu/cup/cgos/idx_basic.html This is from the Columbia University Press. This says it is “a guide to locating, translating, and using the elements of citation for both a humanities style (i.e., MLA and Chicago) and a scientific style (APA and CBE) for electronically-accessed sources. The unique element approach used makes this a useful reference book for citing electronic sources regardless of the specific bibliographic style you may be required to use.”
