Annotated Bibliography
An annotated bibliography is an organized list of sources such as books, articles, journals, web
pages, videos, or other materials. Each source has an annotation, which is a brief (usually about
150 words) descriptive and evaluative paragraph that includes a summary of the source and notes
about its credibility, quality, limitations, and usefulness for the writer. Your annotated
bibliography must include a minimum of 10 sources, seven of which come from a scholarly or
industry source. Instructions for creating an annotated bibliography are below.

Sample
Doheny-Farina, S. (1986). Writing in an emerging organization: an ethnographic study. Written
Communication, 3(2). 158-185.
Stephen Doheny-Farina’s ethnography illustrates how to do an ethnographic study. He begins by
doing a brief literature review and then finds an organization to study and constructs his
interviews and completes his observations. His study looks at a company he calls Microware,
Inc. that is on the verge of bankruptcy and is trying to write a new business plan to gain investor
support. The study goes into detail about the controversy surrounding collaborative writing of the
new plan, and Doheny-Farina discusses how writing processes shape the organizational structure
of an emerging organization. The article is from a peer-reviewed scholarly journal and is written
by a communications professor. It’s pretty old (1986) but I think the information is still useful
and relevant. While the study itself is only partially related to my project, the methods DohenyFarina used are very interesting and are applicable to my research project. In fact, based on what
I learned about interviewing from this article I’ve decided to use open-ended interviews with a
selected few key informants as well as to observe WAC Committee meetings in order to gather
the information I need.
How to Summarize the Content of a Source
• A summary is a restatement of the content of a source that aims to capture its main
ideas. A good summary is brief, thorough, and objective. It devotes an appropriate
amount of time to all the major points that support the text’s central idea. While it
should be written in your own words, a good summary does not sacrifice accuracy or
objectivity. Using third person is generally appropriate for summaries. Finally, a good
summary employs quotations where appropriate (with quotation marks and proper APA
formatting).
•
Some written sources already include an abstract (introductory summary) or conclusion.
If these are available, they can give you an overview of the material in the source. If
these are not available, see the introduction (or introductory paragraphs) or last
paragraph(s) to gain a better sense of the source’s purpose and main ideas. If an abstract
or summary is available, you cannot simply copy it. You must summarize it in your own
words and contextualize it in terms of your own research needs.
