2. What is an annotated bibliography?
• 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.
