Below is an example of an annotated bibliography created by Indian River State College librarians. The annotated bibliography allows your professor to see the sources you will use in your final research paper. It shows that you have planned ahead by conducting research and given thought to the information you will need to write a complete research paper. The annotations may summarize or evaluate the sources used. The references need to follow the APA rules for citations. The title page of your annotated bibliography follows the same rules as an APA research paper.
Remember, always follow your professor's instructions when creating an annotated bibliography.
