Annotated Bibliography #1

Creating the Annotated Bibliography.

The purpose of writing an annotated bibliography can be two fold.  It can provide a current overview of the published literature on a specific subject and this may be published in a scholarly journal, etc.  It can also be the starting point of your research project.  The annotated bibliography provides the APA reference but also it provides a summary of the main points of the source. Instead of skimming and listing the APA citation on a reference page, you must read the articles with more detail and be more critical. 

Creating an annotated bibliography, you can see where your research ideal or purpose fits.  It will help you form your research problem statement.  You will review what research and writings have been established in this field and/or topic and you will create a current, detailed review of the literature.

For the CMHT 5100 Class Assignment:

Establish and specify your research focus:  Millennial Generation, Leaders in Hospitality Industry

Create your title:  Millennial Leaders in the Hospitality Industry:  An Annotated Bibliography

Complete exhaustive review of literature:   Use a bookmarking or referencing system like RefWorks to compile your literature review.

Re-evaluate literature review list to establish usable references.

Create the APA reference and summary for each reference.  See example below and the example in the BBL folder.

Target a minimum of 20 references (journal articles).

Submit as a typed, APA style manuscript.  1” margins, double spaced, etc.

Grading:  Each article (20 total) is worth 2 points each.  1 point for summary, 1 point for APA reference.  This is an “all or none” item grade so proof read carefully before submitting.
