A bibliography is a list of sources (books, journals, websites, periodicals, etc.) one has used for researching a topic. Bibliographies are sometimes called “References” or “Works Cited” depending on the style format you are using. A bibliography usually just includes the bibliographic information (i.e., the author, title, publisher, etc.).
An annotation is a summary AND an evaluation.
Therefore, an annotated bibliography includes a citation, summary, and evaluation of each of the sources.
Summarize: What are the main arguments? What is the point of this book or article? What topics are covered? If someone asked what this article/book is about, what would you say? The length of your sources will determine how detailed your summary is.
Evaluate: After summarizing a source, it is ALWAYS helpful to evaluate it. Is it a useful source?
How does it compare with other sources in your bibliography?
Is the information reliable? Is this source biased or objective?
What is the goal of this source?
As we discussed in “class” (this means the video lesson), create an Annotated Bibliography using your Social Action Research Project research. This annotated bibliography should consist of at least FOUR (4 sources – You should incorporate TWO (2) journal articles from the library’s databases (one of which must come from ProQuest), and ONE (1) mainstream magazine or newspaper article, and once source of your own choosing.
