bibliografía

bibliography

noun beeb-lyoh-grah-FEE-ah Rare

Origin: From Greek biblion (book) + graphia (writing).

Usage Note

Bibliografía refers to a list of sources cited in an academic work, or more broadly to the body of written works on a topic. University assignments typically require a bibliografía al final (bibliography at the end). The stress falls on the í, breaking the hiatus: bi-blio-gra-FÍ-a. Do not confuse with biografía (a life story of a person).

Examples

"No olvides incluir la bibliografía del trabajo."

Natural Translation

Don't forget to include the bibliography in the paper.
