According to the Merriam Webster Dictionary:
Definition of BIBLIOGRAPHY
An Annotated Bibliography is most closely associated with definition 2a above, a list of works with descriptive or critical notes.
“Information Literacy” is a term that describes the process of finding, evaluating, and effectively using information. In our case it would be for historical research but it can be used in any academic (or personal) situation. To help you learn how to access, evaluate, and use information well, do the following assignments.
For each annotated bibliography assignment I will give you the required documents. You will not write a research paper over the topic but you will produce an annotated bibliography of your sources. [See the note following the assignment about what that is if you don’t know already.]
Use the Chicago-style sheet as your guide.
First, summarize the source, including the source’s thesis, key points, and the most significant detail or evidence supporting those points. If someone asked what this document was about, what would you say? What is the purpose of the document? What topics are covered? What are the main arguments?
Second, evaluate the source. Think about why did the author create the document and why was it written for and why?
Do not merely copy the author’s words—that’s plagiarism and it defeats the entire point of an annotated bibliography. Rewrite each source’s information entirely in your own words so that you will remember it and so that others can know if it is a source they should consult.
Each annotation should be at least 150 words, think about the document analysis worksheet (who wrote the document, when was the document produced originally, what was going on during this time period, historical context, audience and what is the historical significance of the document).
“An annotated bibliography is a list of citations to books, articles, and documents. Each citation is followed by a brief (usually about 150 words) descriptive and evaluative paragraph, the annotation. The purpose of the annotation is to inform the reader of the relevance, accuracy, and quality of the sources cited.”
per libguides at Jenkins Garrett Library @ Tarrant County Community College
