An annotated bibliography is a list of citations for various books, articles, and other sources on a topic. Annotated bibliographies look like a Works Cited page but includes a brief, descriptive annotation after each source. Writing an annotated bibliography can help you: 

• Learn more about your topic and what information sources are available
• Develop your own point of view by reading and evaluating many different sources
• Decide if a specific source will be useful for your assignment

What to Include in an Annotation

Annotations are typically around 100 – 150 words and require you to:

• Identify the author’s expertise
• Describe the main ideas, content, topic, and/or thesis of a source
• Identify the observations or conclusions of the author
• Evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of a source
• Explain why a source is useful for your research and how it relates to your topic
