What is an Annotated Bibliography?
How to Prepare an Annotated Bibliography (Olin Library Reference,Research & Learning Services, Cornell University Library,Ithaca, NY, USA)
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.
