A Reference page includes all books or materials used in the creation of a paper. A Works Cited page includes only those books or materials actually referenced in the paper. It's a subtle difference, but an important one. Generally, you do one or the other in a paper, not both.

yeah bibliography, references, works cited... they are all the same. it really just depends on which formatting you are using. like for example, i know that APA citations uses References, and thats just how it goes. idk, its just what they use as their standard name, so it looks neat and is uniform with everyones paper.
