What is an Annotated Bibliography?
An annotaetd bibliography is a list of sources (books, journal articles, or any other information sources). The basic unit of information for an annotated bibliography is the reference/citation of the source you selected and a brief summary indicating the significance of the source. When you are compiling one, you will pay attention to both the form and the content.
FORM:
Below is an example of anotatedy bibliography with two sources in APA style. Note that a citation and paragraph is indented in APA. APA Style also uses double spacing throughout the bibliography.

CONTENT:
The reason for compiling an annotated bibliography varies depending on the nature of the project you are working. If you are compiling for a course assignment, it's best to clarify the purpose or requirements of the annoated bibliography with your instructor.
For this course, it's part of the exercise to strategically incoporate relevant sources to build your argument in the paper. You will, therefore, add a paragraph in which you include jist of the source you selected and why it is relevant to your paper, right after the citation of the source.
Please refer to the following sources to explore other reasons for which you might compile an annotated bibliography.
