" "

quotes around a search term keeps terms together; search engine won't search for each term separately (ex. "alice in wonderland")

~

tilda's before search terms search for like terms (ex. ~fairy tale will search for fairy tale, fairy tales, folktales, fable, etc.)

REMEMBER: You need to cite your sources in MLA. Here are the citation managers we have available.

THE ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY

When you find sources that will be valuable to your research question (and ultimately your thesis statement), you will begin to organize them in what's called an annotated bibliography. What is it? It is a list of citations to books, articles, and documents where each citation is followed by a brief (usually about 100 to 150 words) descriptive and evaluative paragraph, the annotation.

Your annotated bibliography must include the following three things for each source:

the citation (in MLA format)
a short summary of the source
your personal thoughts and insights from the source
