Annotated Bibliography Guidelines (taken from Purdue Owl)
An annotated bibliography includes a summary and/or evaluation of each of the source you examine for your research paper.
Your annotated bibliography should include these four sections / paragraphs:
3 sources listed as a Works Cited citation in MLA format
Summary of the source – directly under each citation include summary and quotations that will benefit your essay
Assessment of usefulness
Reflection
Detailed description of each requirement:
Summary: What are the main arguments of this source and how do they connect to your ideas? Find quotes you might be able to use in your document and include them here.
For more help, see Purdue Owl’s handout on paraphrasing sources.
Assessment: After summarizing a source, and examining how it is useful, discuss its credibility, how did you verify the information is reliable? Is this source biased or objective? What is the goal of this source?
For more help, see Purdue Owl’s handouts on evaluating resources.
Reflection: Once you’ve summarized and assessed a source, you need to ask how it fits into your research. 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?
TOPICS: Pick one of the following.
Note: each topic is actually a hyperlink that connects to a brief discussion about the topic. The discussion can serve to help you brainstorm your ideas and form a better understanding of the issue. Each link also connects to an article in the New York Times that might benefit your research and function as a source for your paper.
