A bibliography is an alphabetical list of everything you used to research and in preparing a paper or project. It contains all of the works that you actually “used” in your paper or presentation, as well as a list of other books or sources you read but didn't directly use in your project.

An annotated bibliography is a bibliography that also includes a brief summary of the content, quality, and usefulness of the source.

A works cited page lists only works actually “used” in your paper or presentation. If your research project or multimedia presentation does not use a source, then it should not be in your works cited page.

A works consulted page would be paired with a works cited page to list additional resources that were used as reference materials, but were not actually “used” in the research paper or multimedia presentation.
