Case Study: The annotated bibliography assignment asks you to develop and narrow a research question about the current (arose within the last 18-24 months) and unresolved (not yet settled) issue you chose and compile sources that provide evidence about the issue that will help you answer your question.
The annotated bibliography is a key step in inquiry-based, or question driven research. You will not be formulating a thesis at this point.

Question: IDENTIFY AN ISSUE AND DEVELOP YOUR RESEARCH QUESTION

Finding a current and unresolved issue in your field can be challenging, but if you know where to look, you can find an abundance of ongoing conversations in public writing to explore:
? Recent legislation that has been introduced in Congress or in state legislatures that is relevant to your field but has not yet been voted upon. Congress.gov is a great source for tracking federal legislation. This is often a great source for identifying a possible issue in your field.
? Major newspapers such as The New York Times or The Wall Street Journal often publish articles relevant to issues in your field of study.
? Trade publications in your field also publish articles about current trends and/or controversies in the field
? The advocacy pages of the major professional association for your academic discipline or future profession often list the issues for which the association "advocates" to help the professional.
