Part 3: Annotated Bibliography Instructions

An annotated bibliography is a tool often used by researchers to record findings in important scholarly work that relates to their own research question. An annotated bibliography is a listing of sources, with each entry followed by a brief paragraph summarizing key arguments, concepts, information, important findings/conclusions, and the professional or personal bias of the author(s), if any. Summaries may include properly cited quotations or data from the work, but must be in the researcher’s own writing.

For this assignment, you will develop your own 3–5-page (1,000–1,200 words) Annotated Bibliography featuring 8–10 scholarly sources relevant to your topic. The majority of sources must be no older than 10 years. The Annotated Bibliography must be formatted in current Turabian Author-Date Reference list style, with a paragraph of annotations following each list entry. Single-spacing may be used for this assignment.

Note: At this stage, the Annotated Bibliography will not represent all sources used in the final paper and will not serve as the paper’s Reference list; however, it may be adapted (i.e. annotations removed) and expanded to serve as your Reference list.

Research & Writing Tips:

• For help getting started with research, use the Jerry Falwell Library’s Government Research Guide.

• Upon finding a relevant source that addresses your chosen policy issue, consult the source’s References or Works Cited list. It may lead you to interesting sources for your own use.
