WHAT IS THIS?
According to Merriam-Webster’s Online Dictionary (2011):
Annotate: “to make or furnish critical or explanatory notes or comments”
Bibliography: “the history, identification, or description of writings or publications”
Clip: How do these definitions combine?
Therefore…
An annotated bibliography is a list of citations for books, articles, and documents that one has used for researching a topic.
Each citation is followed by 3 brief paragraphs that provide:
summary
assessment
reflection
PURPOSE?
The purpose of the annotation is to provide the reader with information about the sources cited in terms of its:
relevance accuracy quality of the sources cited
WHY DO THIS STEP PRIOR TO WRITING A RESEARCH ESSAY?
When you have to write annotations for each source, you're forced to read each source more carefully. You begin to read more critically instead of just collecting information.
FORMAT
The format of an annotated bibliography can change depending on the assignment, but the typical format is a list of reference entries followed by annotations.
