I think 書誌(情報) here means information for locating a particular book (図書目録) rather than references at the end of the paper or report (参考文献). Alternatively, "index information and front cover image(s)," or "index and front cover," etc.

book information and cover image


Explanation:
When you use a library catalogue, you get a set of information about a book that often
comes with a cover image. Here, 書誌 refers to the information on the book and 書影 is the cover image.
