3. 3 ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY A BIBLIOGRAPHY is a list of sources (books, journals, Web sites, periodicals, etc.) a person 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/evaluation. Therefore, an ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY includes a summary and evaluation of each of the sources.

4. 4 WHY CREATE AN ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY? Helps you organize your thoughts Builds a perspective of what other people are doing in the field of your topic. Reinforces a good skill to build for college, where you will more than likely complete several before graduating with a Bachelor’s, more with an advanced degree. Keeps you from going back to your source, if done well. All good bibs do the following:Summarize – Evaluate – Reflect

5. 5 WHY AN MLA ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY? MLA – Modern Language Association Using MLA Style properly makes it easier for readers to navigate and comprehend a text by providing familiar cues when referring to sources and borrowed information. Editors and instructors also encourage everyone to use the same format so there is consistency of style within a given field. Abiding by MLA's standards as a writer will allow you to: Provide your readers with cues they can use to follow your ideas more efficiently and to locate information of interest to them Allow readers to focus more on your ideas by not distracting them with unfamiliar or complicated formatting Establish your credibility or ethos in the field by demonstrating an awareness of your audience and their needs as fellow researchers (particularly concerning the citing of references)

6. 6 ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY The first element of your ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY is the CITATION of the source’s bibliographic information. Depending on the type of source, this can include: Author(s) Title of Source Title of Larger Works in which the Source Was Found Publication Date Publisher Place of Publication Volume/Issue Number Editor(s) Translator Date of Access Page numbers Medium of Publication Etc.

7. 7 ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY With print sources, most CITATION information can be found on the cover and/or on one of the first few pages on the source. CITATION information for electronic sources can be more difficult to locate, but oftentimes, they are at the bottom of a webpage. If a required element can’t be found, then omit it from your CITATION, but the less elements available, then the less likely your source is reliable/authoritative. (Use “n.d.” when no publication date is provided and “n.p.” when no publisher is given.)

13. 13 ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY ANNOTATIONS are placed just below the citation. They are written in complete sentences/paragraph form. Each ANNOTATION will have three paragraphs: Summary Evaluation Reflection

14. 14 ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY SUMMARY: Begin your annotation with a summary paragraph. The first sentence should provide the MAIN IDEA of the source. Then extend your summary with two or three more sentences elaborating on significant details that are relevant to your research question. In Candy Freak, Steve Almond presents a history of the candy industry in 20 th century America. After describing his love of candy and chocolate in particular, Almond takes the reader on a tour of candy factories across America while discussing how three large corporations (Hershey, M&M/Mars, and Nestle) managed to squeeze out hundreds of candy brands that were produced regionally in this country.

15. 15 ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY EVALUATION: The next paragraph assesses the authority, accuracy, objectivity, and currency of the source. Basically, you’re proving that this is an appropriate and trustworthy source for your research. Steve Almond has published 10 novels and worked as a journalist for major newspapers. Candy Freak was a New York Times best-seller and an Alex Award Winner, and was published in 2004. The information seems reliable, but Almond does not provide a bibliography for his book so there’s no way to verify his information. The writer’s personal tours through candy factories and conversations with candy makers do lend reliability to his work. However, some negative bias can be detected toward the big three candy corporations.

16. 16 ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY REFLECTION: Conclude your annotation with a paragraph that explains how the source fits into your research. Reflect on how it is helpful in answering certain aspects of your research question. This source will work well for my basic understanding of corporate influence in the free market. I can use this source in my introduction but it doesn’t provide much beyond the general. However, Candy Freak does provide a possible model for an explanation of how “mom and pop” stores have been supplanted by large corporations in the United States. It may offer insight into how the food industry has evolved over the last 100 years.

17. 17 ANNOTATION PRACTICE Choose 1 of the following articles to write an annotation (Summary, Evaluation, Reflection) with the research question given as a guide.
