The purpose of writing an annotated bibliography is to help you to understand a topic thoroughly. By carefully examining sources, you will examine content in a topic area, as well as the authors and their credibility. Sources may include books, articles, interviews, Web sites, or videos. A standard bibliography citation includes the author(s), title, city, publisher, and year. It allows the reader to access the sources that are utilized in the writing of the author’s work. An annotated bibliography is a summary of descriptive and evaluative comments that follow each citation. In general, these comments are brief; they are between 100 and 200 words and are formed into a short paragraph. The annotation may include the following: • The primary purpose of the work • The authority/qualifications/reliability of the work’s author • The author’s intended audience • The possible shortcomings or biases in the work • Any significant features of the work (graphs, illustrations, or cross references) • The significance or relationship to other works on the research topic • The student’s own impression of the work Remember, the primary purpose of the annotated bibliography is to inform the author, as well as the reader, of the relevance, accuracy, and quality of the sources that are cited. Here is an example of a basic annotated bibliography entry. Example from the Memorial University of Newfoundland Steps for Writing an Annotated Bibliography The steps for compiling and completing a comprehensive annotated bibliography are as follows: 1. Locate materials that may contain useful information and/or ideas for the topic. The sources that you use will come from a variety of locations (i.e. Web sites, journals, newspapers, magazine articles, and books). Briefly review the gathered items, and then choose a variety of sources that are pertinent to the topic. 2. Critique those chosen sources by asking the following questions: a. What is the main point of this source? b. What are the author’s qualifications to make him/her an authority on the topic? c. To whom is this author speaking? Who is the audience? d. What critique may there be of this source? Is the author too biased to be reliable? Do the author’s own sources appear reliable? e. Does anything stand out in the source that may assist in the research: glossaries, graphs, etc.? f. What is this source’s relationship to other resources: supportive, irrelevant, another point of view? g. What do you think of the source? 3. Having narrowed the sources by the above process, proceed to writing the annotated bibliography. Each annotation should include the following components: a. The source’s authority of the topic b. A brief description/summary of the source c. The possible relationship to other sources d. Any biases noted e. Any significant features noted f. The intended audience g. Your brief opinion of the source Samples and more information on the annotated bibliography can be found at the following site: http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/614/01/.
