Change Bibliography name to "References" and add it to TOC

Question

As title suggests. I have the following in my referencing section :

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{report}
 .
 .
 .
\bibliographystyle{abbrv}  
\bibliography{library}

And it prints :

enter image description here

I would like to change Bibliography to References -- And also add it to my table of contents.

@GonzaloMedina not sure what babel is, don't think I'm using that. — Razor, Apr 16 '13 at 01:55
@Werner thanks for pointing that out Werner. I will do better research next time before posting. — Razor, Apr 16 '13 at 02:01

Since babel is not being used, it's enough to redefine \bibname. For the inclusion of the bibliography in the ToC, one can use the tocbibind package. So, add these lines to the preamble:

\usepackage[nottoc,notlof,notlot]{tocbibind} 
\renewcommand\bibname{References}

The options for tocbibind prevent the ToC, the LoF, and the LoT to be listed in the table of contents.

This did not work for me in lyx v2.2 – David Taub Apr 21 '20 at 08:33
It conflicts with \tableofcontents – Yvon Aug 19 '20 at 07:20
