An annotated bibliography is a list of citations to books, articles, and documents. Each citation is followed by a brief (usually about 150 words) descriptive and evaluative paragraph: the annotation. The purpose of the annotation is to inform the reader of the relevance, accuracy, and quality of the sources cited.
Try to find at least 10 items (books, journal articles, maps, drawings) in your list. You will have to locate these 10 items either by finding the books in the stacks, or finding the journals online and downloading the appropriate article, which can be done from library or home computers using the library search function.
For each item you will provide a citation and an annotation, which will involve a quick reading or skimming. Mostly to see if there is useful information that you can use for your paper. Remember not everything you find will be useful so you will need to sort through your findings and choose the 10 best items. Please try to find at least 2 books, the rest can be articles from academic peer reviewed journals, maps, drawings etc. If you are struggling, please feel free to ask the reference librarians for help in searching, finding, and sorting. They are there to help you!
