Reference vs Bibliography

[mikephd]

Dear all,

What is the difference between 'reference' and 'bibliography'? Is the difference in quantity of references?

Thanks
Mike

Bibliography: noun (pl. bibliographies) 1 a list of books or documents on a particular subject or by a particular author. 2 the study of books in terms of their classification, printing, and publication. 3 a list of the books referred to in a scholarly work.


References : a short note recognizing a source of information or of a quoted passage
