The Annotated Bibliography

• What is an Annotated Bibliography?

• A bibliography is a list of reference materials that you have used for researching a topic. In APA format it is called “References.” Your bibliography should include at least one book and three scholarly articles.

• What is the purpose of an Annotated Bibliography?

• Provides preparation for the research term paper by familiarizing the writer with the current research, trends, and themes related to the topic. Exposes the writer to different resources to assist in analysis and critical thinking.

• Writing an Annotated Bibliography

• Write an Annotated Bibliography for each of the 4 references; this will include one book and three scholarly articles.

Each annotated reference should include these three parts:

1. A Summary of the main arguments and points of the reference
2. An Assessment and Evaluation of the reference – Is this a reliable, objective resource? Be sure to explain your point of view.
3. A Reflection on how this resource will help you write your research paper (Example: How will it help you understand the field of service? Does the information help cover the topic headings on pages 4-5 of this document?)

An instructor sample of an Annotated Bibliography for this assignment is located in Canvas under “Assignment.”
