Annotated Bibliography Guide

For your annotated bibliography you should use the following formats for your references. Here are some examples of how you should write the citations.

• Remember that you must annotate each reference. In this case, you must include an analysis of the importance of the reference to your project.
• Your analysis should follow the same format as the Collecting and Evaluating Lab.
• Each person needs to have at least ten works cited.
• You may not use web pages (those with no other source of publication than the internet such as Wikipedia.org) in your bibliography. This does not include articles found using ProQuest, Ebsco or other search engines. Those are real peer reviewed or edited articles and are not webpages.
