Annotated Bibliography • AB is a catalog (list) of all the POSSIBLE sources you might use and a short SUMMARY of what the source says and how you might be able to use it in your paper. • An annotated bibliography (as well as Works Cited page) is always alphabetized by author/sources last name. • DO NOT GROUP SOURCES TOGETHER (ie. books, internet, interviews); • ALL SOURCES SHOULD BE MIXED TOGETHER AND ORGANIZED ALPHABETICALLY BY LAST NAME.
Annotated Bibliography • The entries in the bibliography MUST BE DOUBLE SPACED. The annotations are single spaced and indented 5 spaces on each side. • THIS SHOULD BE VERY EASY IF YOU USE easybib.com TO COMPLETE THE ASSIGNMENT
