Sample Annotated Bibliography

Annotation means a comment about the bibliographic entry. It is not a review or complete summary of what you read. The annotation should not be longer than three to five sentences, but indeed be longer than a single sentence or phrase.

Student Name Bissett, Susan and Lisa Bruckman. "Union County College Libraries Citation Guide: Documenting

Sources Using Turabian." September 2000.

This is a pamphlet prepared by two UCC librarians and available at the UCC Library. This pamphlet was specifically produced for my courses and thus may qualify as an original source. It really belongs in the category of "pamphlet."

The Chicago Manual of Style: The Essential Guide for Writers, Editors, and Publishers,

15th Ed. Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2003.

This is a 956 page tome that tells you more than the ordinary person would ever want to know about formatting a book for publication. The chapters on documentation explain how do do bibliographies. It seems to me that Web citations are still not fully integrated even in this 2003 edition. One would expect that Turabian will soon follow with an updated version of her briefer book.

Ohio State University Libraries. "Guides to the OSU Libraries: Turabian Citation Guide."

Available online from: <http://www.lib.ohio-state.edu/guides/turabiangd.html>. Last Update: 10/22/03, The Library Instruction Office. [Accessed on 28 October 2003.]

This web site provides additional examples of how to do bibliography in the Turabian format. There are many formats for citing web sites, unfortunately.

Turabian, Kate L. A Manual for Writers of Term Papers, Theses, and Dissertations, 6th Ed.

Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1996.

Turabian’s Manual, 6th ed., is based on the fourteenth edition of the Chicago Manual of Style (1993). Turabian is an abbreviated condensation of the more comprehensive University of Chicago Manual. Turabian is available at most town libraries, and can be bought at most bookstores.

Week 5 2 pages

For this assignment, you are required to submit a preliminary annotated bibliography of works that you anticipate might be included in your final Historiographical Essay. At this point, a minimum of 15, properly formatted ANNOTATED items are required. To illustrate the proper format, a sample annotated bibliography is attached below.

For details, see the syllabus and the "Historiographical Essay" documents that are attached to the Historiographical Essay assignment instructions. Do remember to apply the required Chicago style protocols. The most current version of the Chicago Formatting Style Guides are available in the online library [webpage]. Note that significant points will be deducted for failure to annotate your entries.

Week 8- 9 pages

NOTE: THIS USED TO BE DUE AT THE CONCLUSION OF WEEK SEVEN, BUT WE HAVE EXTENDED IT TO WEEK 8. BUT THERE IS NO ROOM FOR ERROR IF YOU SUBMIT ON SUNDAY; THEREFORE, MAKE SURE THIS IS TURNED IN BEFORE FRIDAY NIGHT FOR FULL CREDIT.

Historiographical Essay – The Seven Years' War and its Implications for Colonial America: A historiographical essay summarizes and analyzes interpretations of scholars on a given issue or topic. For this assignment, your assigned topic will be the Seven Years' War and its implications for Colonial America. Remember, the historiographical essay is a special type of analytical writing that only considers secondary sources – available through the online library EBSCO, JSTOR and ProQuest databases, among others – and traces how historians have interpreted this topic over time. Essays will be a minimum of 2,500 and a maximum of 3,500 words and must include a minimum of 20 relevant secondary sources. Annotation is not required in the final essay bibliography. The grading rubric for this assignment is attached below. For additional guidance, the sample historiographical essay – "General Douglas MacArthur’s Application of the Principles of The Art of War" – is also attached. Note that it identifies and reviews secondary sources that approach the topic and is not a general history essay.

Note that the reference citations are not to be included in the word count, and the essays shall be typed, double-spaced, and in a 12-point Times New Roman font. Again, citations are required and must follow the Chicago footnote/bibliography citation protocols[webpage]. Please see the example in the .pdf but those are general assessments (based on each source), you will occasionally need to go one step further and connect to page numbers for maximum points.

Regarding Internet sources to be used citation purposes, acceptable sites include scholarly websites and documents available through the APUS Online Library, or other academic and governmental holdings, libraries, archives and databases. For our purposes, Wikipedia (as well as the other “Wiki” sites) is not considered a valid academic source. Note that as graduate students, it is your responsibility to ensure the proper formatting for your bibliography and footnote entries. There will be a total of 35 possible grade points awarded for submission of the historiographical essay. Use file attachment protocols for assignment submission.
