What exactly is an annotated bibliography?
Definitions:
Bibliography – list of citations information sources (books, articles, documents, websites or webpages, audio, video).
Annotation – a brief (often about 150-200 words) descriiptive and evaluative paragraph the purpose of which is to inform the reader of the relevance, accuracy, and quality of the sources cited.

Explanation:
An annotated bibliography summarizes the central theme and scope of each source in the list. Each annotation should include:
• Citation: a complete citation for each work included.
• Summary: a sentence or two summarizing the author’s main point.
• Evaluation: a) a statement about the type of source (e.g., a scholarly research article, an editorial from a professional magazine, a feature newspaper article, a chapter from a popular book, a U.S. government website); b) a short evaluation of the authority of the author to write about the topic, quality of the source, objectivity, etc.
• Your Notes: Your own thoughts on why this is relevant for you in the context of your research paper, and how you will use this source.

Tips:
• Don’t confuse abstracts or summaries with annotations.
• Abstracts are the purely descriiptive summaries often found at the beginning of scholarly journal articles or in periodical indexes.
• Annotations are descriiptive and critical; they expose the author’s point of view, clarity and appropriateness of expression, and authority.
