What is an Annotated Bibliography? Abibliographyis a list of sources. Anannotationis a summary or an evaluation. Anannotated bibliography is a bibliography with a summary or evaluation of each source.
Your Annotated Bibliography should: Summarize Assess Reflect
Summarize What are the main arguments of this source? What topics are covered? If someone asked what this article/book is about, what would you say?
Assess How does this source compare with other sources in your bibliography? Is the information reliable? Is this source biased or objective? What is the goal of this source?
Reflect Was this source helpful to you? How does it help you shape your argument? How can you use this source in your research project? Has it changed how you think about your topic?
Format The bibliographic information (title, author, publisher, date, etc.) should be in MLA format. The annotations should be in paragraph form. Each annotation should be 5-8 sentences long and should summarize, assess and reflect.
Example Lamott, Anne. Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life. New York: Anchor Books, 1995. Print.   Lamott'sbook offers honest advice on the nature of a writing life, complete with its insecurities and failures. Taking a humorous approach to the realities of being a writer, the chapters in Lamott's book are wry and anecdotal and offer advice on everything from plot development to jealousy, from perfectionism to struggling with one's own internal critic. In the process, Lamott includes writing exercises designed to be both productive and fun. Lamottoffers sane advice for those struggling with the anxieties of writing, but her main project seems to be offering the reader a reality check regarding writing, publishing, and struggling with one's own imperfect humanity in the process. Rather than a practical handbook to producing and/or publishing, this text is indispensable because of its honest perspective, its down-to-earth humor, and its encouraging approach. 	Chapters in this text could easily be included in the curriculum for a writing class. Several of the chapters in Part 1 address the writing process and would serve to generate discussion on students' own drafting and revising processes.
