What is an Annotated Bibliography?
An Annotated Bibliography is a list of citations for sources you plan to use in your project with an explanation of what each source will contribute to your work and a brief summary.
Each entry will include:
- A bibliographic citation in APA style
- A few sentences in your own writing summarizing the source and how it fits with your project
Additionally, follow these guidelines:
- References should be in A-Z order, just as they would appear in your References list
- Your citations should have hanging indents (aka the first line is not indented, but subsequent lines are indented)
- Your annotations should be in paragraphs following each citation
- Your annotations should be indented
*Hint: Library databases provide citations that you can copy and paste, and then check against one of the guides. Look for a Citation link, and then choose your style.
