>What bothers me is the unclearness of the idea of a 'bibliography'. I've run into this in a number of my articles - in an article about an author, say, does a Bibliography contain a comprehensive listing of his works, a comprehensive listing of works about him and his work, a list like the previous but only containing the ones you haven't yet used a references (I've compromised and treated that kind of bibliography as a 'Further Reading' section thus far), or what?

In the case of an author there might be "Works" "Fiction" "Non-fiction" in addition to "Biographies" and "Literary criticism"

There could be a "Notes" section for references used. "External links" for cool web sites or articles available on line.

And a "Bibliography" containing recommended sources.
