This may be something that varies from country to country.  The feedback
I have had, from a professional communications class in college, from
the career placement office of same college, and from a human resources
manager at IBM, all agreed that it is a waste of space to list
references on your resume.  The career planning office recommended
bringing a list of references with you to interviews and providing it if
asked, or perhaps even if not. 

Some people felt it was OK to put "References on Request" on your resume
but most felt even that was a waste of space.
