How do I write an annotated bibliography?

Answer

An annotated bibliography is formatted much like a standard References page. You can find instructions for setting up a references page. The key difference is that an annotated bibliography includes a summary of each resource and how it is relevant/useful to your paper. In order to write an annotated bibliography you need to first read each source you are going to use and take notes on what parts will be useful to your paper. Then, underneath each reference entry in the bibliography, write 1-2 paragraphs summarizing the source, its findings, and how it is needed in your paper.
