I have just composed a class syllabus in LaTeX and would like to change the title of my Reference page from "References" to "Suggested Reading" or "Reading List". How do I go about doing that. This may be a simple question but I am new at this and on the steep incline of the LaTeX learning curve.
Thanks in advance.

Depends on the class or package you are using, a minimal working example would give us just the information we need to help you.
The smart way: Calm down and take a deep breath, read posts and provided links attentively, try to understand and ask if necessary.

Hi Johannes,
I am using the article class nothing complex. Does that suffice in terms of information? Thanks for responding.

\renewcommad{\referencename}{Suggested Reading}
If I remember correctly.

Here is the command I put in right in front of the bibliographystyle{} :
\renewcommand{\refname}{Suggested Reading}
And it works!
Thanks Johannes and Stefan!
