Preparing Annotated Bibliographies
This resource provides general guidelines and specific examples
for creating an annotated
bibliography. Please consult your instructor or check the
detailed directions for your assignment,
as they may differ from these general guidelines.

Definitions:
A bibliography (also called references in some styles) is a list
(usually alphabetical) of sources
(e.g., books, journal articles, reviews, papers, dissertations, and
website articles) that are relevant
and valuable to a researcher exploring a topic. It usually just
contains citation information
(author(s), year, title, publisher information, etc.). Refer to the
appropriate style guide in the
Student Success Center for rules and examples of formatting
bibliography/reference entries.
An annotation contains a short summary describing a source
and/or an evaluation of it.
Depending on the style, the annotation may directly follow the
bibliography entry on the same
line or may follow on the next line and may have a block or
first-line paragraph indent. Thus, an
annotated bibliography contains annotations for each of the
bibliographic entries. Unless
otherwise directed by your assignment, title it Annotated
Bibliography.
Length:
The length of each annotation depends on specific assignment

directions. It can be a few
sentences or as long as 150-200 words. Like an abstract, it
should not be more than one
paragraph long. It may contain verb phrases with the
understanding that the source is the subject,
but preferably, it should contain only complete sentences.
Selecting Sources:
The first step in creating an annotated bibliography is to find
relevant sources with valuable
information and ideas about your topic. Refer to your
assignment for instructions on the specific
number and type of source required. Often, you will be required
to utilize the GCU Library to
locate sources (e.g., peer-reviewed journal articles and
scholarly books). The GCU Library can
be accessed at http://library.gcu.edu. Read abstracts of sources
to select the most appropriate.
There are a variety of helpful services and tools provided by the
GCU Library designed to assist
students with locating the best sources for assignments. Popular
services include tutorials, live
webinars, and subject-specific research guides. Librarians are
also available via telephone, email,

and chat. The library’s contact information and hours are
located at http://library.gcu.edu.
For those students wishing to compile their source citations in a
centralized location with the
ability to assist in the creation of bibliography, RefWorks is an
excellent option. This is
particularly useful for graduate and doctoral students.
Information about RefWorks can be found
at http://library.gcu.edu/Reference. Whenever utilizing a tool
that assists with citation creation,
always check the citation that is produced by the software for
accuracy and proper formatting.

Types and Content of Annotations:
An annotation can be indicative, informative, evaluative, or a
combination of the three. Read
your assignment directions to determine what type you need. If
unclear, ask your instructor.
An indicative annotation tells the reader what the source is
about, lists topics, and defines the
scope. It does not give any data from the source or evaluate it.

An informative annotation is a descriptive summary of the
source, giving the thesis, data, and
conclusions, but it does not evaluate the source.
An evaluative annotation is a critical analysis of the strengths,
weaknesses, and biases of the
source, and why you think it is useful.
An annotation may contain some or all of the following
depending on the assignment directions
and the content of the source:
rch methodology
(charts, glossary, graphs, etc.)
se

2014
General Guidelines:
When writing annotations, use the third person narrative voice
in the literary present tense (e.g.,
"The author discusses…" and "This work is…"). Do not use first
or second person (i.e., avoid the
use of I, me, my, mine, we, our, us, you, and your). Focus
annotations on summarizing,
analyzing, or evaluating the source, and refrain from quoting
the source or other sources within
the annotation. To review, the following is a simple list of dos
and don'ts for writing annotations:
• Use third person literary present voice.

• Do not use first person (I) or second person (you).
• Focus on summarizing, analyzing, or evaluating the source.
• Do not cite or quote within the annotation.
Guidelines for GCU, APA, MLA, and Turabian Annotated
Bibliographies
GCU Style:
Students in lower division (100-200-level) courses, who are
required to use GCU style in their
writing assignments, will follow the APA Style guidelines and
examples for annotated
bibliographies.
APA Style:
The 6th edition of the APA Manual does not have any directions
or examples for creating an
annotated bibliography. However, the 5th edition has an
example in section 9.03. Following this
example, you would format the bibliographic information with a
0.5-inch hanging indent. Then
format the annotation with a block indent of 0.75 inch. Double
space within and between entries.
Sentence fragments are acceptable but should be used sparingly.

MLA Style:
The MLA Handbook does not have any directions for formatting
an annotated bibliography other
than requiring double spacing within and between entries.
However, it shows an example in
which the annotation begins on the same line as the end of the
bibliographic information.
Sentence fragments are acceptable but should be used sparingly.
Turabian Style:
The guidelines for an annotated bibliography from the Turabian
manual specify that full-
sentence annotations are placed on a new line with paragraph
indentation. Paragraph indentation
is a 0.5-inch indent on the first line of the annotation. Single
space within entries but add a line
space between entries.

Note: Students in lower division (100-200-level) courses, who

are required to use GCU style in
their writing assignments, will follow the APA example of an
annotated bibliography.
Annotated Bibliography
Barrett, C. K. (1978). The Gospel according to St. John: An
introduction with commentary and
notes on the Greek text. (2
nd
ed.). Philadelphia, PA: Westminster John Knox Press.
This commentary contains detailed exegesis of the Greek text
that is worth
considering regardless of whether one agrees with all of
Barrett's conclusions. Author
provides a lengthy introduction (146 pages), including
discussions on the historical,
theological, and linguistic aspects of this book. Barrett is one of
the greatest English-
language commentary writers of the twentieth century.
However, he follows some
older views on John's Gospel regarding source and background.
Thus, it may be less
useful than more modern commentaries, as much critical

thought has move beyond it.
Brown, O., & Robinson, J. (2012). Resilience in remarried
families. South African Journal of
Psychology, 42(1), 114-126.
Article reports on a salient research study in which the target
was to identify and
explore the resiliency factors that enable blended families to
adjust and adapt. It
involved a total of 35 participants: 19 parents and 16 adults.
Descriptive statistics
were used to analyze the biographical information. Correlation
analysis was used to
analyze the quantitative data; and content analysis was used to
analyze the qualitative
data. The research found that family hardiness, problem solving,
communication,
family time and routines showed a positive correlation for both
parties. Common
themes between the teen and parents such as spirituality,
boundaries, communication,

flexibility and tolerance also had a strong positive correlation
between both. The
journal is a peer-reviewed journal. Ottilia Brown is also the
author of other academic
journal articles on learning disabilities and ADD. Both of the
author’s affiliations are
with the Department of Psychology, Nelson Mandela
Metropolitan University, South
Africa. The article contains chart and graphs of the research
study performed to aid in
comprehension of the study.
Lamott, A. (1995). Bird by bird: Some instructions on writing
and life. New York, NY: Anchor
Books.
Taking a humorous approach to being a writer, the this book is
wry and anecdotal and
offer advice on the writing life from plot development to
jealousy, from perfectionism
to struggling with one's own internal critic. In the process,
Lamott includes fun and
productive writing exercises. She offers sane advice for those
struggling with the
anxieties of writing, but her main goal seems to be offering
readers a reality check

regarding writing, publishing, and struggling with one's
imperfections in the process.
It's not a dry handbook of writing and/or publishing, but it is
indispensable because of
its honest perspective, down-to-earth humor, and encouraging
approach. Parts of it
could easily be included in the curriculum for a writing class.
Several chapters in Part
1 address the writing process and would serve to generate
discussion on students' own
drafting and revising processes. Some writing exercises would
also be appropriate for
generating classroom writing exercises. Students should find
Lamott's style both
engaging and enjoyable.
