Trying to Change Bibliography/References Header

Question

I am trying to change the header from saying "References" to "Works Cited" and insert it on a new blank page.

I tried \refname but it did not work, just a blank space in the pdf. My document is below:

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage[notes]{biblatex-chicago}

\bibliography{bibliography}
\begin{document}

Hello World!\autocite{clare2}
\pagebreak
\renewcommand\refname{Works Cited}
\end{document}

Answer 1

biblatex uses "bibliography strings" for (among other things) the headings of bibliographies, so redefining \bibname (for the book and report class) or \refname (for article) won't work. Try to add the following to your preamble:

\DefineBibliographyStrings{english}{%
  references = {Works Cited},
}

(And as Mico has noted, you're missing \printbibliography.) Compilable example:

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage[notes]{biblatex-chicago}

\DefineBibliographyStrings{english}{%
  references = {Works Cited},% replace "references" with "bibliography"  for `book`/`report`
}

\usepackage{filecontents}

\begin{filecontents}{\jobname.bib}
@misc{A01,
  author = {Author, A.},
  year = {2001},
  title = {Alpha},
}
\end{filecontents}

\addbibresource{\jobname.bib}

\nocite{*}

\begin{document}

\section{foo}

\clearpage

\printbibliography

\end{document}
