Compte-rendu bibliographique

Poetry & Literature
While I have read and dealt with this term many times in French, I am not as certain of its rendering in English... I am thinking of using "annotated bibliography" (don't like "bibliographic report" or even "bibliographic commentary" much), but am open to suggestions...

bibliographic summary
Depending on the context, I would consider compte-rendu to be a summary.
Annoted would be used if there are notes with the references. If that is the case, then annoted would be ok.

survey of the literature
This is research done to find out about what has been written on a particular topic. Also known in French as "étude bibliographique" or "enquête bibliographique". Another alternative in English: literature survey (the term given in granddictionnaire.com) but it gets fewer hits on Google.
Note from asker:
| Perhaps "literature review"or, in a sentence, "review of the literature" might work as well? |
Peer comment(s):
| agree |
John Peterson
: Often the obligatory Ch 1 of a thesis/dissertation serving as a critical overview, but could be a free-standing study as well.
