WHAT
IS AN ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY?
An
annotated bibliography is a list of citations to books, articles, and
documents. Each citation is followed by a brief descriptive and evaluative
paragraph, the annotation. The purpose of the annotation is to inform the
reader of the relevance, accuracy, and quality of the sources cited.
THE
PROCESS
-Creating
an annotated bibliography calls for the application of a variety of
intellectual skills: concise exposition, succinct analysis, and informed
library research.
-First,
locate and record citations to books, Periodicals, and documents that may
contain useful information and ideas on your topic. Briefly examine and review
the actual items. --Then choose those works that provide a variety of
perspectives on your topic.
-Cite
the book, article, or document using the appropriate style.
-Write
a concise annotation that summarizes the central theme and scope of the book or
article. Include one or more sentences that (a) evaluate the authority or
background of the author, (b) comment on the intended audience, (c) compare or
contrast this work with another you have cited, or (d) explain how this work illuminates your bibliography
