What is an annotated bibliography?

O An annotated bibliography is a list of citations to books, articles, and documents.

O Each citation is followed by a brief (usually about 150 words) descriptive and evaluative paragraph, the annotation.

O The purpose of the annotation is to inform the reader of the relevance, accuracy, and quality of the sources cited. Souce:

Why do I need to do this?

O An annotated bibliography may serve a number of purposes, including but not limited to:

O A review of the literature on a particular subjectO Illustrate the quality of research that you have doneO Provide examples of the types of sources availableO Describe other items on a topic that may be of

interest to the readerO Explore the subject for further researchO The annotated bibliography may be selective or

comprehensive in its coverage. A selective annotated bibliography includes just those items that are best for the topic while an exhaustive annotated bibliography attempts to identify all that is available on a subject.

StructureO Length: Generally, annotations constitute one paragraph and are

approximately 100 -150 words long, with a goal of concise and explicative annotations

O Person: The third person is the standard, though first person may be appropriate for certain types of annotated bibliographies.

O Language and Vocabulary: If you use a quotation excerpted from the work set it within quotation marks. Vary your sentence structure and try to avoid phrases in your annotations, such as, "The author states," "This article concerns," or "The purpose of this report is," as well as sentences starting with "It was suggested that," "It was found that," and "It was reported that."

O Format - Sentences: Whole sentences are preferable, but single descriptive words, and simple phrases or lists may be acceptable.

O Format - Paragraphs: Annotations should be one paragraph long. The paragraph should contain a statement of the work's major thesis, from which the rest of the sentences can develop.

Complete Sentences Example

Kinter, W. R., and R L. Pfaltzgraff. (1972). Assessing the Moscow SALT agreements. Orbis, 16, 34l-360. O The authors hold the conservative view that

SALT can not halt the slipping nuclear advantage of the United States. They conclude that the United States needs a national reassessment of defense policy. They further conclude that the only utility of SALT is in developing a dialogue with the Soviets. This is a good conservative critique of SALT I.

Paragraph Example

O Voeltz, L.M. (1980). Children's attitudes toward handicapped peers. American Journal of Mental Deficiency, 84, 455-464.

O As services for severely handicapped children become increasingly available within neighborhood public schools, children's attitudes toward handicapped peers in integrated settings warrant attention. Factor analysis of attitude survey responses of 2,392 children revealed four factors underlying attitudes toward handicapped peers: social- contact willingness, deviance consequation, and two actual contact dimensions. Upper elementary-age children, girls, and children in schools with most contact with severely handicapped peers expressed the most accepting attitudes. Results of this study suggest the modifiability of children's attitudes and the need to develop interventions to facilitate social acceptance of individual differences in integrated school settings.
