A bibliography is a list of the sources for a certain topic. A literature cited is a list of only those sources which you actually cited (footnoted) in your paper.
Look at the written directions, then, copy all punctuation exactly. Note that all lines after the first are indented. Don't forget the period at the end.
Entries are single spaced, but you skip a line between them. Do NOT # them.
