Rondina,

Yes, it will be confusing as we try to be more inclusive of newer types of
sources. A bibliography is a list of books or articles (only), to use a
restrictive definition, that an author has referred to in developing yet
another work of authorship. Most of us understand that, but many people have
never heard of a bibliography.

A "source list" is the same thing, yet it answers the inherent question of a
non-bibliographic newbie "What if it's not a book or an article?" Well, is
it a source? Then put it in the "source list", which used to be called a
bibliography. Or maybe we should call it a "modified bibliography" and
people could earn consulting fees by explaining the difference between the
two in such obtuse terms that other people were provoked to write more
definitive magazine articles on the subject which caused other people to
sharply dissent thereupon in later articles :)

P. S.
Elizabeth,

I'll want royalties for the soon to be copyrighted "modified bibliography".

Elizabeth,
Is the "Source List Entry," a term I am unfamiliar with, the same as
the
Bibliography citation? If so, then I am clear as to how to cite in the
Bibliography.
