Writing an Annotated Bibliography

What is an annotated bibliography?

This is an organized list of sources (references cited), such as books, journals, newspapers, magazines, Web Pages, etc., each of which is followed by an annotation or description of each item.

Annotations may consist of all or part of the following list of items, depending on the purpose of the bibliography:

• describe the content (focus) of the item • describe the usefulness of the item • discuss any limitations that the item may have, e.g. grade level, timeliness etc. • describe what audience the item is intended for • evaluate the methods (research) used in the item • evaluate the reliability of the item • discuss the author’s background • discuss any conclusions the author(s) may have made • describe your reaction to the item

What is the purpose of an annotated bibliography?

Depending on the assignment the annotated bibliography may serve a number of purposes. Including but not limited to:

• a review of the literature on a particular subject • illustrate the quality of research that you have done • provide examples of the types of sources available • describe other items on a topic that may be of interest to the reader • explore the subject for further research

How is an annotation different than an abstract? Abstracts are typically descriptive summaries of academic articles or other scholarly publications. Annotations are descriptive and also critical. Annotations are more likely to offer a point of view and not just describe an item.

What does an annotated bibliography look like?

You write and arrange the bibliographic entries (citations) just as you would any other bibliography. This is usually arranged alphabetically by the first word, which is typically the author’s last name. The annotation may then immediately follow the bibliographic information or may skip one or two lines depending on the style manual that is used. Remember to be brief and include only directly significant information and write in an efficient manner.
