locate and record citations to books, periodicals, and documents that may contain useful information and ideas on your topic. Briefly examine and review the actual items. Then choose those works that provide a variety of perspectives on your topic or will support your thesis. You must choose at least 15 sources, the majority of which must be dated within the last three years and have come from our library resources or well known news sources like the Washington Post, The New Your Times, The Wall Street Journal, etc. Cite the book, article, or document using the appropriate style and place it within the appropriate part of your paper (i.e. introduction, body, discussion, etc.)
Third, for each source chosen begin writing concise annotation that summarizes the central theme and scope. Include one or more sentences that compare or contrast this work with another you have cited, or explain how this work illuminates your bibliography topic or support your thesis.
