ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY [Online Workshop]

An annotated bibliography summarizes the key points and arguments of the sources cited in your research, whether for your final term paper or a conference panel presentation. In this workshop, you will learn about the elements of an annotated bibliography, how to compose it, and sample annotated bibliography entries. Students are encouraged, but not required, to bring at least one source (like a book, article, or document) and work with the Fellows to write an entry for an annotated bibliography.
