Annotated Bibliography Samples
Overview
Below you will find sample annotations from annotated
bibliographies, each with a different research project.
Remember that the annotations you include in your own
bibliography should reflect your research project and/or the
guidelines of your assignment.
As mentioned elsewhere in this resource, depending on the
purpose of your bibliography, some annotations may
summarize, some may assess or evaluate a source, and some
may reflect on the source’s possible uses for the project at hand.
Some annotations may address all three of these steps. Consider
the purpose of your annotated bibliography and/or your
instructor’s directions when deciding how much information to
include in your annotations.
Please keep in mind that all your text, including the write-up
beneath the citation, must be indented so that the author's last
name is the only text that is flush left.
Sample MLA Annotation
Lamott, Anne.
Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life

4. . Anchor Books, 1995.
Lamott's book offers honest advice on the nature of a writing
life, complete with its insecurities and failures. Taking a
humorous approach to the realities of being a writer, the
chapters in Lamott's book are wry and anecdotal and offer
advice on everything from plot development to jealousy, from
perfectionism to struggling with one's own internal critic.
In the process, Lamott includes writing exercises designed to be
both productive and fun. Lamott offers sane advice for those
struggling with the anxieties of writing, but her main project
seems to be offering the reader a reality check regarding
writing, publishing, and struggling with one's own imperfect
humanity in the process. Rather than a practical handbook to
producing and/or publishing, this text is indispensable because
of its honest perspective, its down-to-earth humor, and its
encouraging approach.
Chapters in this text could easily be included in the curriculum
for a writing class. Several of the chapters in Part 1 address the
writing process and would serve to generate discussion on
students' own drafting and revising processes. Some of the
writing exercises would also be appropriate for generating
classroom writing exercises. Students should find Lamott's style
both engaging and enjoyable.
In the sample annotation above, the writer includes three
paragraphs: a summary, an evaluation of the text, and a
reflection on its applicability to his/her own research,
respectively.

5. Sample APA Annotation
Ehrenreich, B. (2001).
Nickel and dimed: On (not) getting by in America
. New York, NY: Henry Holt and Company.
In this book of nonfiction based on the journalist's experiential
research, Ehrenreich attempts to ascertain whether it is
currently possible for an individual to live on a minimum-wage
in America. Taking jobs as a waitress, a maid in a cleaning
service, and a Walmart sales employee, the author summarizes
and reflects on her work, her relationships with fellow workers,
and her financial struggles in each situation.
An experienced journalist, Ehrenreich is aware of the
limitations of her experiment and the ethical implications of her
experiential research tactics and reflects on these issues in the
text. The author is forthcoming about her methods and
supplements her experiences with scholarly research on her
places of employment, the economy, and the rising cost of
living in America. Ehrenreich’s project is timely, descriptive,
and well-researched.
The annotation above both summarizes and assesses the book in
the citation. The first paragraph provides a brief summary of the
author's project in the book, covering the main points of the
work. The second paragraph points out the project’s strengths
and evaluates its methods and presentation. This particular
annotation does not reflect on the source’s potential importance
or usefulness for this person’s own research.

Sample Chicago Manual of Style Annotation

6. Davidson, Hilda Ellis.
Roles of the Northern Goddess
. London: Routledge, 1998.
Davidson's book provides a thorough examination of the major
roles filled by the numerous pagan goddesses of Northern
Europe in everyday life, including their roles in hunting,
agriculture, domestic arts like weaving, the household, and
death. The author discusses relevant archaeological evidence,
patterns of symbol and ritual, and previous research. The book
includes a number of black and white photographs of relevant
artifacts.
This annotation includes only one paragraph, a summary of the
book. It provides a concise description of the project and the
book's project and its major features.
