My recommendation (made somewhere, a while ago),

"Bibliography" be recommended (as part of the MoS) only as a term for
a subject's personal/collaborative works, along the lines of
"Filmography" and "Discography".
This is contrary to the way that the term is normally understood in the
rest of the world.
It's only contrary to ''one'' of the ways it is understood...

Tradition doesn't have to smite common-sense ''every'' time! Look,
it's so elegant and logical ^_^
Biography - Bibliography, Discography, Filmography
It would be similarly confusing to use "Discography", as it applies in
its alternate meanings
(
http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=discography), for such
things as a list of "Further listening" or 'subject-primer-material',
in a broad topic like [[Dixieland]] (which actually has the expansive
[[List of Dixieland standards]]), such as this thread was originally
about.
