Annotated Bibliography
Some professors may ask you to create an annotated bibliography. What is an annotated bibliography you ask? Well, we have an answer for you. An annotated bibliography is a list of citations to resources that you have consulted featuring a brief descriptive and evaluative paragraph. This paragraph is known as the annotation, which informs the reader of the relevance, accuracy, quality of the sources cited, summarizes the central theme and scope of the book or article, and more.
For more information, including on how to properly format an annotated bibliography in MLA format, check out the video. For examples of annotated bibliographies from Purdue's Online Writing Lab click the button below.
