BibLaTeX is a complete reimplementation of the bibliographic facilities provided by LaTeX. BibLaTeX uses its own data backend program called “biber” to read and process the bibliographic data.

BibTeX is a bibliographic tool that is used with LaTeX. A BibTeX file will a compile a bibliography. The file is separate from the LaTeX source file, with a file extension of .bib. Each reference in the .bib file is formatted with a certain structure and is has a "key" that is referred to in the source .tex file.
