A bibliography is used when you wish to include all the sources you’ve consulted as part of your research, not just the sources you have drawn on within your assignment (and which have an in-text citation to the source used).
If you just want to include a list of all the sources you have cited in your writing, please see the 'Reference lists' section.
You compile a bibliography using the same approach as you would for a reference list:

A bibliography includes both the sources you have consulted but not cited, and those you have cited directly in your work.
If you only want to include the sources you have cited directly in your work, this would be a reference list rather than a bibliography.
Please check with your lecturer as to whether they would prefer a reference list or bibliography. Please see the 'Reference lists' section for guidance as needed.
The Referencing video, which is also embedded below, introduces how to build your reference list in the Harvard Solent style, most of which can also be applied to building your bibliography:
