An annotated bibliography is a list of sources that includes descriptive and evaluative comments about the sources reviewed. These comments are also known as annotations. An annotated bibliography entry consists of two components: the Citation and the Annotation.

The Citation

• Each entry begins with an MLA-style Works Cited citation. Sources appear in alphabetical order by author name or the title.  The first line is flushed left and any subsequent lines from the citation are to be indented. In addition, the entry is to be double spaced in the font Times New Roman size 12.
• After this citation, write your annotation. Do NOT skip lines. The annotation should be set apart in an 1" indented block.

The Annotation

• A brief summary of the source (what is the source about?). Generally, an annotation is approximately 100-300 words in length (one paragraph). 
• The source’s strengths and weaknesses, if applicable.
• How is this source useful for research?
• Validity of the source (authority of the author, background, education, etc.)
• This section is also to be double spaced and indented.
