Annotated Bibliography An annotated bibliography is a list of sources together with a very short description and evaluation for each source. Annotated bibliographies are useful to: 1) Keep track of the sources you have found. 2) Help you understand how these sources can contribute to your overall argument. 3) Provide me with evidence that you have actually researched various sources for your work.

Annotated Bibliography There is no universal standard for the format of an annotated bibliography. For this class your annotated bibliography must include. 1) The title, author, publication and date for each source. 2) A short summary of the text. 3) A short summary of the credibility and relevance of the source. 4) A brief comment on how you might use the source (list key evidence, for example).
