  1. Annotated Bibliographies • Bibliography – list of sources for a research paper or project • Annotation – summary/evaluation of a source • Jobs of an annotated bibliography • Summarize – What’s the main idea? What’s the topic? What’s it all about? • Assess – Is the source useful/credible? Is it biased or objective? How does it compare to other sources? • Reflect – How does this address my research question? Is it helpful to my goals? How has this shaped my thinking on this topic? Slideshow adapted from OWL Purdue - http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/614/01/

  2. Why create annotated bibliographies? • Summarizing, assessing, and reflecting force you to think more deeply about your topic. • Annotations help you see the big picture and formulate an argument or thesis. • An overview of multiple sources helps you to see the different points of view related to your topic. • Having a bibliography is convenient for assessing source diversity.

  3. Format • Bibliographic information • MLA format • http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/747/01/ • Annotations • Paragraph form • Length is dictated by the purpose (e.g., assessing requires more space than simply summarizing) Slideshow adapted from OWL Purdue - http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/614/01/
