Create a bibliographic entry for each of your sources in proper MLA format, just as you would for a works cited page. Then, beneath every source’s entry, write a brief paragraph summarizing and evaluating the source.
SUMMARY: Just a sentence or two — briefly sum up what the source’s main topic was, what information it covered, etc.
EVALUATION: This should be the main bulk of each entry. Assess the role this source played/will play in your research. How useful was the information in this source? How trustworthy do you feel the author is? Was this helpful in your research? Did you learn anything new from it? Will it help to strengthen your overall argument?
Do this for each of your 6 sources. You may end up not using one or two of these sources, or adding more later — but try to make sure that most, if not all, of the sources on this annotated bibliography are the ones that will end up on your works cited page with the final draft. You will save yourself a lot of time and effort later. Getting all your sources in order makes writing the paper much easier, and means you won’t have to worry about doing it at the last minute.
USE THE HCC LIBRARY AND ONLINE DATABASES TO SEARCH FOR YOUR SOURCES. They don’t all have to come from the HCC library, but at least some of them should.
In addition to your summary & evaluation, note somewhere on each source where you got it — i.e. what search engine or other method did you use to find it.
All of this should be in Times New Roman 12 pt. font, double-spaced. You do not need to include a formal MLA header or page numbers, but do make sure your name is on it.
If anyone needs to see a sample annotated bibliography, I will include an example below. You can also find additional information and examples here Links to an external site. and here Links to an external site.
