What is an annotated bibliography? This is a bibliography that includes brief explanations or notes for each reference.

An annotated bibliography helps the researcher determine which sources are relevant to a line of inquiry.

This determination is based on a summary of the work, an evaluation of its credibility, and its applicability to what you are specifically writing about.

Each annotation should be between 100-150 words. Visit and read examples from the recommended resources that the CTU Library provides about the annotated bibliography:
