Title: Working Annotated Bibliography

Working Annotated Bibliography
  • What is a working annotated bibliography?
  • A working annotated bibliography is a list of
    citations to books, articles, and documents.
    Each citation is followed by a summary of the
    claim, bias, credibility and relevancy. The
    purpose of the annotation is to inform the reader
    of the claim, bias, credibility and relevancy of
    the sources cited.

Annotated Bibliography
  • What is the purpose of an annotated
    bibliography?
  • Writing an annotated bibliography is excellent
    preparation for a research project. Just
    collecting sources for a bibliography is useful,
    but when you have to write annotations for each
    source, you are forced to read each source more
    carefully. You will begin to read critically
    instead of just collecting information, because
    you have to make a judgment about which sources
    to use.

Annotated Bibliography
  • Every good research paper is an argument. The
    purpose of research is to state and support a
    thesis. A very important part of research is
    developing a thesis that is debatable,
    interesting, and current. Writing an annotated
    bibliography can help you gain a good perspective
    on what is being said about your topic. By
    reading and responding to a variety of sources on
    a topic, youll start to see what the issues are,
    what people are arguing about, and then you will
    be able to develop your own point of view that is
    supported by the information you have found in
    the sources.

Example
  • Waite, Linda J., Frances Kobrin Goldscheider, and
    Christina Witsberger. "Nonfamily Living and the
    Erosion of Traditional Family Orientations Among
    Young Adults." American Sociological Review 51
    (1986) 541-554.
  • C Nonfamily living arrangements negatively
    affect adolescents beliefs about traditional
    family roles.
  • R This is the largest study which supports my
    thesis. The findings in it match findings from 2
    other studies I have read about.
  • B The authors wrote the paper to present to
    the American Society of Sociology, which supports
    the idea that society is changing at a rapid
    pace.
  • C Most of the surveys were distributed in
    colleges knows for their liberal attitudes.
