    Have to write this school project/asignment help on Refrence/Bibliography
    I have a page for refrences ..this will allow anyone that whats to check the resources I used for my essay


    and then I have another page for a bibliography containing everything I looked at in my research ..even if I did not directly include them in the essay.


    My question is do I have to include all the sources I stated in the 'Refrences page' also in the 'Bibliography page' ....I feel that If I have already mentioned the books etc that I used in the refrences then I don't need to put them in the Bibliography ???

    Someone please reply
    EDIT: ALSO IF YOU QUOTE SOMEONE AND THEN NEXT TO THE QUOTE WRITE THE BOOK AND THE YEAR IT WAS PUBLISHED ETC DOES THAT COUNT IN THE WORD LIMIIT ?

    A reference page is for sources you quoted in your text, bibliography is for resources you looked at, but didn't directly use. So the books in the references page shouldn't be in the bibliography as far as I know.

    I'm not sure if it counts as your word limit, so if I were you, if you put a quote, I would put a little number (like wikipedia), then put the same number in your reference page along with book and year it was published, etc. (If that makes sense? Like an asterix*, but a number instead) Then it definitely won't be part of your word limit.

    Hope that helps
