An annotated bibliography is a list of source information on a specific subject. Each entry includes both bibliographic information (a full APA citation) and a descriptive summary. There are several reasons why we write annotated bibliographies:
1. To write your annotated bibliography, you must find at least four sources of information on your proposed research topic. It proves there is information available, which then ensures you have chosen a researchable business.
2. It's an opportunity to practice your summarizing skills.
3. It insures that you have completed your research early in the report writing process.
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.
You must use at least four secondary (research) sources in your business report:
• One full-text academic periodical article that you have obtained through an online college library database.
• Another full-text article that you found online through the library's search or Google Scholar.
• One website that you believe you can trust for information on your topic. Please do not choose a Wikipedia article.
• At least one other source of your choice.
Find four (or more) sources of information related to your research topic. You must use two articles found through the Lethbridge College databases. If you have never accessed the Buchanan Library databases to locate a peer-reviewed academic article, please see the information in the last Module of this course entitled "Welcome to the Buchanan Library." Most helpful will be the pages "Accessing and Using Library Resources," "How to Read an Academic Article," and "Understanding Plagiarism and Referencing."
Your other two sources can be any of the following:
• from a periodical (a newspaper, magazine, or journal)
• books
• from websites, social media platforms, YouTube, etc.
Following your APA citation, 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.
