These annotated bibliographies should be very brief, and include 4-5 sentences for a total length between 50 and 65 words. The first sentence should state the main purpose of the entry. The next sentence or two should identify the main points or summarize the work's perspective or conclusion(s). The last sentence should evaluate the quality and relevance of the work relative to our audience.
Example Annotation (from Bethel College):
AICPA sets ethical standards for outsourcing. (2005). Journal of Accountancy, 199(1), 8-8. http://www.journalofaccountancy.com/
This article presents the new standards for outsourcing developed by the AICPA ethics committee. The standards are summarized, and a brief discussion is included of the implications going forward for business and international trade. The authors indicate that changes to the business community will be relatively minor. This is a helpful source for getting an overview of the current ethics standards in outsourcing.
