What are bibliographies?

Bibliographies are collections or lists of works on a particular subject or topic with descriptions or critical notes on each work.[a] 

You may have written annotated bibliographies as a class assignment. These are essentially the same thing, because they are both lists of citations with a short description or critique about them.
