This document provides guidance on how to write an annotated bibliography. It defines an annotated bibliography as a list of citations followed by descriptive paragraphs that summarize and evaluate each source. The document explains that each annotation should have two parts: a summary of the source and an evaluation commenting on how the source relates to and fulfills the writer's research purpose. Formatting guidelines are also provided, such as using a hanging indent and capitalization rules for titles. The purpose of an annotated bibliography is to inform readers about the sources and help writers determine source relevance and suitability for their research.
