An annotated bibliography is a bibliography that gives a précis information of the research that has been done. In addition to bibliographic data, an annotated bibliography provides a brief summary or annotation for instance Primary Sources of the Information journals/periodicals articles. The purpose of annotations is to provide the reader with a summary and an evaluation of the source. In order to write a successful annotation, each summary must be concise. An annotation should display the source's central idea(s) and give the reader a general idea of what the source is about. It is still an alphabetical list of research sources.
You want to prepare an annotated bibliography. First of all you chose a topic for example “Online Public Access Catalogues: An annotated bibliography”.
It should include some or all of the following:
- Bibliographical Details of the article
- Concise representation of the documents
- Scope or main purpose of the work.
- Any detectable bias.
- Intended audience and level of reading.
- A summary comment.
Ideally, an annotation should be between 100 to 200 words.
After that you can arrange the document according to
Author wise
Subject wise,
Title-wise,
Etc.
