Overview

Below you will find three annotated bibliographies, each with a different research project. As mentioned in our Annotated Bibliography Breakdown, 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. In some cases, 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 your annotation beneath the reference must be indented: MLA 9 now requires a 1-inch indent; APA and Chicago require a 0.5-inch indent. The reference itself should have a hanging indent so that the author’s last name is the only text that is flush left.
