Hopefully this is an easy problem, but I have not been able to find
the answer. I am using Latex+Bibtex writing my dissertation, and I
need the bibliography section to appear as a numbered section, both in
the table of contents and in the paper. So, the TOC should look
something like:

10. Chapter Title
10.1 Introduction
10.2 Methods
10.3 Results
10.4 Discussion
10.5 References

-My file is arranged like:

\chapter{Chapter Title}
\section{Introduction}
...
\section{Discussion}

\newpage
\bibliographystyle{plain}
\bibliography{biblio}

which produces a TOC like:

10. Chapter Title
10.1 Introduction
10.2 Methods
10.3 Results
10.4 Discussion
Bibliography

So, how can I rename "Bibliography" to "References" and give it a
section number? I'm not sure if it is relevant or not, but I am using

\usepackage[sectionbib]{chapterbib}

so that each chapter has its own bibliography.
Thanks!
