What is an annotated bibliography?

An annotated bibliography is a list of high-quality sources that you have found about your topic. The list contains sources such as books, articles, and documents that you have found about your research topic.

Each source is cited using a citation style (for example MLA, APA, Chicago, etc).
Each cited source in the list is followed by a brief "annotation" (usually about 150 words) that is a descriptive and evaluative paragraph.
Write annotations with your audience in mind; remember, the purpose of the annotation is to inform the reader of the main points from the source and to remind the reader how you might use the source to support your thesis in a larger, related research project.
