Question: In annotated bibliography is a list of secondary source information on a specific subject. Each entry includes both bibliographic information and a descriptive summary. There are several reasons why we write annotated bibliographies:

It proves there is information available, which then ensures you have chosen a researchable topic

It's an opportunity to practice your summarizing skills

It insures that you have completed your research early in the report writing process

This is a group project. Each member of the group must contribute at least one relevant source to the annotated bibliography and grades will be awarded individually. (Please write your name in parentheses at the end of your contribution.)

As you research, keep your problem question in mind. You will be searching through a lot of information, and your problem question should help you do a more efficient search.

Following your APA formatted reference entry, write a descriptive summary; a descriptive summary simply describes the content of the article or site. These summaries are usually short---approximately three or four sentences. Comment on how relevant and useful this source will be for your research.

Example of an annotated bibliography entry:

Brubaker, J. R., Hayes, G. R., & Dourish, P. (2013). Beyond the grave: Facebook as a site for the expansion of death and mourning. The Information Society: An International Journal, 29(3), 152-163.

Although social networking sites allow individuals to connect with many people and groups, they still emphasize the individual (153). Brubaker, Hayes, and Dourish ask what happens to a Facebook profile when the individual who maintains it passes away. They argue that "Establishing a narrative and identity for the deceased can be an important part of the grieving process" (153) and that it is these strategies of identity preservation that lead to Facebook profiles becoming places of memorialization. Friends of the deceased person are able to define that person's identity through communication with one another on the person's Facebook wall. In this way, "these digital identities continue to persist after death" (158). This paper will be helpful to provide context for my business report focus on social media.

Depending on the size of your group you will have four to six entries, arranged in alphabetical order by authors'' last names. Upload one document to the assignment dropbox with the title ''Annotated Bibliography'' centred at the top of the page.
